I had an Abrahamsson winder on it for the first few years and then put a Leica Motor on it, which I used it with mostly. I had two Konica RF's from about the same time I got the M7 until 2007 and they got used more, mainly due to the built in motor and therefore lighter weight. Both those cameras pretty much wore out while each got about three times as much use as the M7 and about the same as the M6. Just not in the same class for long term durability as the Leicas.
