As some may know I also use an MP and the Canon rangefinder equivalent. For stealth you can not beat the motor, frame from the hip, shoot and walk away. It is quiet enough that in any ambient sound environment it is not heard, yet it is immediately ready for the follow up. This is great stuff in the M world. I find the lever wind useful in more studied situations as the motion to wind doesn't matter. And last, for left eye dominants, either keeps the camera at the eye for continuous framing. Dollar wise, the Rapidwinder is less expensive, and it doesn't require batteries to function. I know I will belly up to the bar for a winder for a IIIF. As it is now, I use the motor unless I'm screwmounting. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
