But when you have to carry an assignment on and need the time to wind the film to take the next photo maybe you're lost...you missed THE photo... Of course that going out for a walk with a Leica M is pretty nice, you have the time to see here, look at there, glance at the left and right, then you choose to aim your camera, take the time and press the shutter release...that's lovely. But when you, let's say me among others here, choose to use the M for a job and sometimes need some more extra time, go faster, go secure, not to take the eye off of the finder...understand ? Rapidwinder for me is simply the greatest thing my Leica M6 received as a gift from my part. So happy is she that my M2 is looking at me jealously... A motor for the M, a quiet one in a great working condition with no blurring area would be also welcome. Bye Jim, Buy one Jim, buy a Tom's made rapidwinder, test it, taste it and then come back here to share your experience... no doubt, you'll thank us. Pablo
