I am looking for a slightly used one for little money. New now at US$950, I can't imagine it going higher! Curiously, Leica left the winder out of its latest catalog. Is the winder dependable or problematic? Haven't seen the Rapidwinder yet. Skeptical. Arturo - ----------------------------------- Bill wrote: << Have you tried the Winder M? It is probably the worst motor winder ever made for a camera. And the most expensive, and today my rep told me they will be raising the price of it Jan. 1. I have one myself, to use on some rare occasions, but I only paid about $250 from a fellow LUGger. Much better investment would be one of Tom's Rapidwinder. >>
