I think this "bonding" thing is very true.I "jumped " from the M3 to the M6 last year and have much more trouble using the M6 "easy" loading system, if I follow the manual. I need to release and forward the film until both sprockets engage the film I closed the bottom/back door to make sure it advances correctly. Much prefer the Contax II/IIIa loading system or that of most mechanical Japanese SLRs. I find my Rolleiflex 3.5E straightforward (not "easy") to load becasue I have used it for so many years.

You have to bond with it. Go on a road tripand bring only that. Let it sit in the front seat. Put all your other cameras away for a season or at least a month. Flitting from camera to camera makes you no good at nothin. Mark William Rabiner
