Good idea to have this and the one for the Fed- but is there one for bottom loaders like Zenit-C and 3? I think that would be pretty useful, and I don't think I am the only person who has the occasional destructive nightmare trying to load film into one of those beasts![:)][:)]

Hi Richard,

yes actually I started out searching for those but didn't find any. But I did find how to load bottom loader Leicas which is basically the same, I just didn't want to put it into catalog since it's not quite for Soviet cameras... but here are the other two videos:

Another reference for loading FED/Zorki bottomloaders, although an image seems to be missing on the bottom. I know Yuri hosts this site: any ideas, Yuri?
