On Screw-mount Leicas, the procedure of loading the film is very difficult thing to do, because the rear cover does not open.
So the film cartridge and leading have to be slided into the camera body.
Here, sliding it by force causes the film leading tip to be broken apart, and which might damage the slow shutter mechanism.
For the smooth loading, cut out the tip part about 10 cm by scissors or utilize the things like a phone card.
From the next few pages, we are going to take a look at a way of loading the film.
