But doesn't that mean you have to push the Rapidwinder lever up? How do you
accomplish that while supporting the lens/focusing?  I bought the M motor
(cheap) for just those occasions. I find the TA winder awkward to use with
the camera in the vertical orientation.

Hi Julian,

hey now that's a good one, never though of it and I just tried holding the
M6
and grip in that fashion and I can see with a bit of practice it could make
life a easier, as my right shoulder doesn't always feel great when reaching
up
to the high position after a bad landing on my first parachute jump after I
turned 65. ;-) But then that's another story!:-)
