At the same time have a lens release guard from M6 installed. Both are inexpensive to do." I'm told by those who know that it is devilishly hard to convert a button rewind M2 to standard lever rewind -- apparently, there are some other bits in there that have to be removed to get to the rewind release mechanism, and they are really hard to put back correctly. It's just way too much hassle and this is why we see such a number of button rewind cameras still out there, more than 40 years later.
