Marc,
Not being the most familiar with the Nikon SP there is some info here:
http://www.cameraquest.com/nikonsp.htm
I am sure that Contax had its first, but the hinged rear door which was
first used by Minolta, made film changing simple. Of course the Leica R used
it as they had the deal with Minolta, but Leica never modernized the M body
with a simple loading system. Ashame, great lenses, crappy body (just my
opinion).
