D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of John Collier Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 10:06 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] M motor drive/winder/RabidWinder If by "burst" you mean continuous, then the M-Motor will do about three frames a second. I think the original poster used burst to imply five frames a second or more. The M6 was not designed in the eighties. It is a simple adaption of the M3. The M cameras were never designed with a Motor/Winder in mind. They need an electronic connection between the M/W and the body. As with all purely mechanical M/Ws (including Nikon) you have to be careful when using the slow shutter speeds.
