..well WJ this is a bit exagerated (sp? ;-), I own a few of these, they
are not that hard to load, not that heavy (instead I like the feeling of a
"real" that is sturdy metal camera instead of these plastic EOS like toy
things, this is ment fiendly, so if you must flame, flame privatly ;-) ) 
And can be very compact, take a FED I, an exact Leica copy, only a pity a
do not have a casette for 35 mm film to load it..
I have no personal experience with Infrared in these camera's, I do know
that the lenses tend to be not so sharp..
