Subject: [Leica] Rewind Crank for M2/3

I received a couple of rewind cranks for my M3's from Richard Wasserman this
evening.

this is a very well fabricated item. It comes nicely packet in a plastic
container. It comes complete with an Allan (Hex) key. the unit is nicely chromed
(black ones are also available). It is fastened with a grub screw (also chromed).
The grub screw has what looks like a very small piece of plastic material on the
end. This, I suppose, stops it from marking the rewind knob. It also most
probably prevents it from working loose due to vibrations. All very professional.

I fitted it to the camera. No problem. It fits snugly and looks good. Then I
loaded an old film. advanced it 36 frames forward and tried the rewind crank.
Fantastic. Makes rewinding fun. Now I can hardly wait until my film is fully
exposed.

This is a great accessory. Well worth the money. I paid $US 35.- for each. If
Leica would have made it, it would have cost at least $200.-

I know, it sound like an ad. But that's how I feel about it. I'll order another
one for my
3rd M3.
