Yeah, I know what you mean. I shoot on porn sets, and it's a hassle to run 
out of film right in the middle of a sex scene. An invaluable accessory to 
the Realist is a rewind crank, available from Photo Emporium in Chicago. Only 
costs about $15. I have one for the Realist that I don't usually use, and 
have modified one to work with the Revere I use all the time. I'm down to 
about 2 minutes per reload; not great, but I can live with it.
