If you happen to be a "left eyed" photographer this Rapidwinder is a "Must have" piece of equipment. If you're not left eyed, then it's a solid option to right thumb flicking. I use them on my M6's and wouldn't think of using the cameras without it mounted. When I received them from Tom they went on and have been there ever since, they give the camera a better feel in the hand without throwing off the balance. If you can get one, I'd get it for nothing else but to try it, if you don't like it I'm sure you'll have no problem selling it. Or I bet Tom would take it back in the blink of an eye as he sells them all over the world! And there are always waiting buyers. Just how I feel about what it did for me after these many years of poking my right eye out! :) Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
