It has a bit of a serrated protruding hook at the end which allows you to flip it out even if a flash or viewfinder is mounted. The lever costs around $40CAN and is easily changed with the appropriate split ring wrench. It does contact the shutter dial when pushed home which should lead to some charming wear marks. Having said all that, I have a brand new Rapidwinder coming from Tom A. soon and that is the best solution.
