I just think advancing the film from the bottom of the camera instead of
the top of the camera doesn't make something a winder.
To me a winder is a moterdrive that is smaller, quieter and doesn't
always keep shooting when you hold the button down. It could even work
with springs instead of batteries. My right eye and right thumb get
along fine.
