H 128#3 Nikonos III ready to be loaded
Loading a Nikonos is not a speedy process! You have to remove the lens, break the "seal" between the inside chassis and the outside shell - pop it off, fold the film pressure plate away - load the film and reverse the process (including pushing the outside shell back on - putting the camera on a flat surface and try to push it together - greasing the O-ring seals helps somewhat.
