And the rewind is quite noisey. = =2E..and quite slow! I love the size and the feeling of the R8 winder. The fact that you still have the possibility to advance or rewind the film yourself, without noise is = also a big advantage. But the lack of a single shot position is really a nuisance. I've lost some pictures because of that. The lost of the vertical release and of the wide leather strap on the handgrip from the R7 winder are also weak points. To bad that the R8 winder had to lose two advantages = in order to gain the slowest motorized rewind on the market. I have no need of more speed and of more weight, then the release of the "hypothetic" motor will not help me. Lucien
