At the time I didn't blame my actions as the camera had been in hard core press use prior to my possession.

Click, wind, click, wind, for each shutter speed, from the quickest all the way to one second. At the slowest settings, once I got into the rythym of it, I could easily have set the speed to 1/4, released the shutter, and immediately wound it again. I thought about it first and didn't. -dan c.
