Hi there


The F5 has a custom function(#8) where you can "program" the camera to
advance the film when you close the back. And the F5 doesn't automatically
rewind when the film ends. You have to push 2 buttons to get the camera to
rewind it or push one button to rewind it manually, just trying to get the
facts right. To make this Leica specific I use the M6 with the 35 and 50
Summicrons, am saving for a 90.
