Tbh I was loading my old Canon AE-1 wrong for like two months straight.

Honestly it took my friend in Chicago pointing out the film leader wasn't catching on the sprocket after I wasted three rolls to figure it out, so has anyone else had a camera that just fought you on loading?

Wasted three rolls" is a special kind of pain. Did your friend have to show you, or was it one of those things that seems stupid obvious once you finally see it?

Ugh, @owens.matthew, he had to point it out.

Actually find it helpful when someone points out the obvious. Saved me from wasting more rolls last week when my cousin showed me the start of the toilet paper is usually under that little flap. I just never look.
