Rewind crank woes, other's mileage: http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/v19/msg04969.html http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/v19/msg04985.html http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/rewind.html If speed of film change is an issue with you get the crank or a Wasserman crank for the knob rewind M bodies.
