I am not happy about it but I do appreciate Leica's >concern. I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. At the local dealers open day we tried a winder on my R8, it wouldn't work. It was OK on the shop demo body. Eventually we found we had to push the winder quite firmly onto the camera body and lock it tightly to make it work. After that no problems. There was no obvious dirt on the camera or winder contacts to cause the problem. I was impressed, light, convenient and best of all low noise. I ordered one. Bob.
