Ron Barten of the Dutch LEICA-representative ODIN in Ede, (the Netherlands) told me, after he had visited the factary in Solms,that there were serieus problems with the power-consumption of the Winder-R8 (and MD-R8). That's what causes the delay. So we have to wait, I prefer getting a good, perfect Winder. And not a improper working toy.. - -- Fred Hess Den Haag / the Hague Nederland / the Netherlands (NL) tel + 31 70 325 83 12 fax + 31 70 325 86 34
