Reloading may not be quite as much of a cost savings as it once was but I do feel it is a worthwhile skill to maintain. I do save money and I am able to custom load special cassettes for specific products. I roam the online auctions and stores and pick up good deals on short dated or expired bulk film all the time.

I do this to and it's fun to shoot old film types that aren't around anymore. I scored four 100ft rolls of the previous version of Tri-X which is great fun to shoot.

As Jip says, works fine. Of course a few of us photographers have to remove our spectacles to see the entire frame.

I got Lasik surgery. The 28mm framelines look fine.

"Fine" being you can see them, but you cannot see them all at once.  You have to move your eye around the frame to see them.

At least that is how it is with my M-A, and I'm not wearing glasses.
