Well there you go! I have actually never found the M2 difficult to load. I
once was challenged by a Leica scoffer (a Canon man-can you believe it), to
load my M2 as quickly as he could load his Canon xxx can't quite remember
the model it was a big, ugly thing (Urgh), and I did. Not quite as fast he
but almost, he was dumbstruck.

Having both M6's & Hasselblads, and having loaded thousands of rolls
in both, they're both very easy. I've loaded my M6 in complete
darkness and it was easy. I've loaded a Hasselblad back behind my back
with equal ease. In reality, the Hasselblad is much easier than the M6
since there is absolutely no possibility of the film not going through
the back, where it is possible (albeit slight) for the film to not be
aligned with the sprockets and/or slip out of the spool and not go
through the M6.
Most of my film loading nowadays is in SL66 backs and 4x5 Grafmatics.
Both also dirt simple to load.
