I had mentioned my Pentax P30t for the QL feature too.
Contax II prewar film loading system is not so simple like for the
newer Japanese cameras, but it's still pretty easy except for the fact
today it's necessary to cut the film leader to insert it in the short
taking spool slots, otherwise you remove the back and the film taking
spool, you insert the film cartridge in the camera and insert the film
leader in the spool out of the camera, you fit the spool in the camera
again and advance the film until both film edges engage with the film
advance gears, you put the back again and the film is loaded.
At least Robert Capa had no problems with batteries at the middle of
the battle or memory card errors using his Contax II.-
