Hmmm, the Nikon 35Ti/28Ti can use any sprocket pattern (or none) since it 
uses a roller to detect film movement. Anybody know of other cameras that 
use this technique? I remember seeing some, but I can't remember which 
ones...

Also some of the compact cameras use only one sproket (ie: Olympus XA 
series, Minox(?), etc...) so you could bulk load the film with the 
sproket on the correct side...
