[Konvas] loading BW film

[Brandon Esten]

Ugh. I hope it isn't as difficult as it looks. Aftee the first time  
loading we are going online. I'll let you know how it goes... It's  
just getting the length on the top/bottom loops that feed/takeup the  
gate; and the feed reel tension is adjustable... I see a big learning  
experience ahead. Heck, with 7 cans to load I should have it down pat  
by the 5th or 6th one. Then I'll redo 1-4!

I head the suggestion made to line the magazine seams with tape to  
insure against light leaks. How about those plastic top/bottom loop  
covers that swing out when the lid is off???
