I believe there are/were quite a few models that do just that,
although just which ones I cannot remember all of. Most recently, the
Hasselblad (sp?) XPAN and its FUJI equivalent. I understand the
advantage to unwinding all the film upon loading is more of a safety
feature than anything else --- exposed photos are locked away in the
film canister, not left in the takeup spool. Open the camera with film in it,
you burn only unexposed film.

Suggestion for the OM-5 & OM-6: Do the imprinting like the Contax, but
add the time as well
Also, why don't the cameras which load automatically initially wind all
the film to the take-up spool, then start taking pictures, going
"backwards" - then the camera would know exactly how many frames
are
left. Perhaps some do?

Tom,
The information printed by the AX is
date
exposure compensation
shutter speed
aperture
exposure mode
All this is either imprinted between the frames or on the first
frame
(2 frames for rolls of 36). I'm afraid that I don't have any
files
showing the information.
Thank you,
Mary Brosius
