I certainly agree with that -- the issue is exactly the same, Rapidwinder or not. I'm probably the same as everyone else -- I'm not going to remove something unless circumstances demand it. But I'm also not going to order a part from Leica to add it unless I really need it. And in this case (accompanying the addition of a Rapidwinder) you don't really need it. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
