But Tom, I was only hoping for a Leicavit kind of device, not what was. Leica needs to do somthing like that, considering the popularity of your rapidwinder. I for one could care less about being able to repair it. I don't fix my M6. I just don't mess with that stuff. What I want is something smaller, and a smaller lever, like the Leicavit. Whis IS the difference in size between the rapidwinder and the Leicavit? Maybe it's just my imagination? - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Zen master to hotdog vendor.
