I stopped into the local camera shop for some batteries and made my way up to the ice arena. I had to shoot ice hockey and my idea was to use the R8/Winder/35f2 for fan shots. I had a large hole in the front page to fill. Well, I put the batteries in the winder and attached it and NOTHING! When I attach the winder with the camera ON, the motor works. If the camera switch is turned off and then back on, NOTHING..KAPUTT!. Now if I drop a roll in, the camera jumps to life and functions, until I shut off the camera. When I switch the camera on, NOTHING..KAPUTT! Is this normal for this winder? Seems like a problem to me! Anyone out there seen anything like this? Anyway, I had my Canons and everything worked out fine, except the home team was drubbed. Dave dstrang@up.net
