I used the later model M4-2 winder on an M4-2 (allows exposures at the winder's rate when holding the shutter release down) and it seemed to work OK between 1/8 sec and 1 sec. The winder started to wind after the second shutter curtain closed rather than wait for the shutter mechanicals to stabilize. I've not tried this on an M6 however. - Kevin kburke@iterated.com
