rpavich Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share #41 Posted November 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Perhaps this is a repeat, but Tom Abrahamsson's method is graceful. See it here. Saw it. He messed around twice as much as the guy in the first video, which is why I was impressed with that vid in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi rpavich, Take a look here I'm very impressed with this guy's loading ability and it works too!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pico Posted November 28, 2015 Share #42 Posted November 28, 2015 Saw it. He messed around twice as much as the guy in the first video, which is why I was impressed with that vid in the first place. I noticed that he handles the camera rather like someone with arthritis, or old hands would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted December 5, 2015 Share #45 Posted December 5, 2015 Read the manual? Only with my first camera. The rest of them was the same. Even the pictures in the manual stayed the same for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted December 6, 2015 Share #46 Posted December 6, 2015 I've been using this method since the video was linked (thank you - not sure what I was doing befor to make it so hard). One thing I have noticed is a couple of times, the M-A has jammed at frame -1. When I opened the back to see what was happening (resigning myself to losing a roll of Tri-X), I found that the top of the film, on the left hand side, was crimped at the holes, and jammed. It looks like my habit of being frugal when loading the tail (to get up to 39 frames per roll) doesn't really work with the M-A. I assume what I was doing was engaging only the bottom sprockets, and the film was somehow not engaging properly - that, or I haven't been pushing the canister in sufficiently to get the top of the film in place properly. Anyone else encountered this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism Posted December 11, 2015 Share #48 Posted December 11, 2015 Reading the fine manual sometimes sheds some light: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! (from page 67 of MP user's instructions) I have generally pushed the film up over the gate, then checked that I can feeth the teeth of the sprocket engaging the perforations in the film before closing up. This suggests, as does the video in the original post, that it isn't necessary and that the inner flange of the baseplate isn't there just to be light-tight, but to push the film up just the right amount.
