Could result in an extra frame per roll.The Neverload Kit was first fitted to M2 cameras sold to the US Army in 1964, and the retrofit kit was available from 1965.

Leitz finally got it to work a tad better by the time they got to the M6, but the system cannot come close to the fine system used in the M3's, a fast, reliable system.Marc msmall@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cha robh bàs fir gun ghràs fir! --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
