Most of them you have to hold the button in while rewinding. THIS IS A MAJOR
PAIN, Rewinding with a knob is bad enough but having to hold in a button at
the same time is pure torture. The very last ones had a button that locked
down just like the lever rewind, these are just as good as the lever wind
cameras and usually a little cheaper as well. It your button or lever gets
accidentally depressed it is not a problem. When you go to advance it will
engage the wind.
