[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I bought a used Leica Winder M last week. Before I get yelled at or stoned, I have a TA Rapidwinder attached to bot my M6s, and they will stay there 95% of the time. I bought the winder for several reasons. It appears to be in very good shape, is quite quiet and cost $200 Canadian. I intend to use it primarily with my 135 attached at vintage car races and local small horse shows. I also find the TA Winder awkward to use vertically, so the whirring machine might get some portrait use. After the long winded stuff comes the questions. The battery compartment has a part number of 14402, the winder itself 14403. Is this normal and is this the latest model? The salesman said there was a later model, but I have found no reference to one. Thanks in advance for the info. Ken
