Yeah it takes bit of practice to get the knack of it, and better for someone to help you get started, but once you get it...its GREAT.
I learned on the SS reels when I was in high school, so its funny when I tell the photo teacher at the local college that I can use the SS reels, but I can't use the plastic reels. The teacher and the other students look at me rather oddly.

To me, the clipless ones (the original Nikor) are the best, because they are so simple. You orient as if you were going to "slide" the film in backwards, turn the reel so you can insert into the only open part of the axis, then turn the reel and go. The most important thing to remember, for me, is to move the reel, not the film, as you load it.
