Recently, I downloaded the Youtube video of Tom A. loading a screwmount Leica (http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=heMk-4hde9E). There's some noise from fumbling around w/ the camera on the table, but NO voice. Is there a version w/ a voice narrative? It sure would be helpful.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, the short written instructions -- sometimes with schematic drawings -- are quite enough. They worked well for decades.

Bill, this was an experiment with Tuulikki's Ricoh GRD. I was roped in to do it and decided to do it in "silent mode" as frequently loading LTM Leica's involves language not suitable for children and/or people with sensitive nervous systems!
I also hate being in the public spotlight and tend to mutter a bit when doing things like loading films. You should hear me loading IXMOO cassettes in total darkness (2-3 hours for 70 laoded cassettes). Invectives fly and multiple language swear words abound.

Tom--I understand. Public speaking is an aquired, but daunting skill.
