Leica M3 (M2) || Film Loading

In this video I will show how to load 35mm film in the Leica M3 (also works for the M2).

Try to do this in the shade and practice before.

Just loaded my first ever film roll from your instructions. Thank you very mutch! Wish me luck on this analog photography adventure that begins at this very moment. 🙌😃

I just acquired an M3 and this is exactly what I needed. Great job!!! THANK YOU for the concise video and for NOT turning it into 30+ minutes of rambling.

I can't believe how much I forgot in all these years... was stuplified to load my M3 - THANKS for your clear instruction

[Amia]

Ok, and now the rest of that video : the unloading of the film in such a simple and clear manner ! Thanks.

[JHurrenPhotography]

Thank you Nico. I haven't done this for a while and got spooked. Film testing this M3 before putting up for sale. Fancy that your video was the first search result! You made it nice and simple. Thanks

Did you cut the film before loading it?

[wiwythebest]

Tu canal ha sido un gran descubrimiento!!

[Lhuiso]

Esto va de lujo. Cada vez mejor en todo. ;-)

Would you happen to know where I could get a mountable light meter for the Leica M3?

[lucascastro]

hey, do you have to do anything to open the backplate? cheers

[flaviocolker]

It´s safer than any other method. You know your film will roll while on most modern cameras you have to check all the time on rewind if it´s going

[AnimeStudioMotion]

what do you think about the rapid load kit for the m2 or m3

[isabellaorrico]

Awesome video! I have an M3 that I was given a year ago but have never been able to find film for it. Do you know of any online companies that sell it?

[gregmcknight]

I don’t think I could stand loading this camera :/ I used to have an m4-p and the quick loading helps a lot

[MANILAFILMCAMERACLUB]

Hi Nico, do you know anyone selling an M2?

[SodaAnt]

Looks like you’re SOL if you lose that take-up spool!
