Both class fellows and both extremely knowledgeable on things Leica. Reinhold in my book, is the epitome of a Leica Master mechanical genius! During the 30 years I've known him, if he tells you what is/was wrong with the camera, you can bet the house, farm and whole village that he is telling you the truth exactly how he see's it. If he says it'll come back like new, that's exactly what it'll be and better. Tom and his Rapidwinder gave me a re-birth with RF Leicas after nearly 40 years of using various models with sight only in my left eye. Many on the LUG know how "over board" I went last year in my praise of the Rapidwinder when I started to use it with an M6. To justify my ranting and praising, which some brought me to task for, I explained the Rapidwinder was like receiving a "new eye." As now, I could shoot without removing the camera from my face to advance the film, therefore cutting down my chances of missing photo opportunities while doing so. Folks didn't realize I could only see with one eye,the left. Which quite frankly is a pain in the butt when you are a dedicated Leica user and can only use the camera left eye'd. You will find the Rapidwinder and redone cameras in excellent order when you begin using them shortly.:) Have fun, you'll love the Rapidwinder! ted
