But when Leica changed to a fixed slotted take-up spool in the M4 series, its film loading went from PITA to Best Ever.
Allow us to differ on this. There is a reason many Leica pros regarded the M4 and later system as the "Never-Load" system due to its extremely high failure rate. That is the one stupid thing on my M6. I vastly prefer the simple and VERY reliable M3 system with the removable spool.
