After attaching the winder, you flip out the wind lever from its recess on the winder bottom. After tripping the shutter, you draw the wind lever from right to left using the index finger of your left hand. This advances the camera for the next shot. It all works faster in practice than it does to describe it here. You do not need to remove the camera from your eye to advance. This is also very helpful for left eye focussers. When you're done shooting, fold the advance lever back into its recess on the winder bottom. You unload the camera in the usual fashion by removing the winder from the camera bottom. Again, its all very fast and easy and very intuitive in its working. In fact, Tom A. doesn't supply any instructions for the winder's use. You can order the winder from me or other dealers like Pat McKee. It is available in black or chrome finish. It also comes in two versions, one for the M2 and the other for the M6, M4P & M4-2.
