Hello
I purchased a rapidwinder for my M6 this summer. I really enjoy it. It is
especially useful in vertical shots in that I think the camera can be held
steadier. I only wish Tom would make one for the screwount cameras too. 8)

BTW, as for the 25/4 skopar, I havent tried it yet....but I think I'll
stick w/ my 25/3.5 canon screwmount. The canon is rangefinder coupled.

I think the M3's viewfinder is the best for the 50mm & 90mm
bye
