Yes, this is what exactly the owner of the shop said.

Doesn't it show any indication for an error while loading just like in MZ-M. If no, then it is quite irritating because you don't know whether the film is at all present at the back of the shutter curtain. I don't know why Pentax made it like that. > When I get a DSLR this problem will hopefully disappear :-) Surely.
