> After 35 years in Photography starting with LEICA M3 and Now at OM4Ti, I
have

> Hold the Film cassette in your left hand, force-feed the leader into

> While holding the cassette wind the film twice with the wind lever.
> NOW pull cassette to the left and drop it in its cavity. Push the rewind
shaft
