This one I ordered today is in like-new condition. After putting the first one, on one of my M "7s" I was surprised by the extra amount of grip it afforded me.I have rather large hands. I purchased the plain grips when Leica brought them out. I guess for me it's a question of balance. The grips are good but still did not answer my situation. After removing the bottom plate and screwing on the winder, I was surprised at the "heft". Even with my M 75 f 1.4, the balance is excellent in my hands. Now I know I'll put the other on the other M 7 when it arrives. I don't understand those who talk about weight. Weight is my EOS 3 with Canon's 200 f 1.8 attached. That's weight. I have two winders on two of my 'Rs'. Again it is balance rather than running through a roll of film in 22 seconds. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
