I thought the base plate went on before winding?

Sometimes the rewind knob doesn’t spin until about frame 5. Is that ok?

its not necessary to push the film - the wheel does that

It's really an ordeal to load a Leica M camera, I think my brand new MP will go in the trash after disintegrating it with a sledgehammer.
