Really? The silly drop in from the bottom loading system? Bet I can
load a Minolta faster. :-)

The Neverload Kit was first fitted to M2 cameras sold to the
US Army in 1964, and the retrofit kit was available from 1965.
I positively HATE the system and have found it frighteningly
unreliable. Leitz finally got it to work a tad better by the
time they got to the M6, but the system cannot come close to
the fine system used in the M3's, a fast, reliable system.
