Yes, I am sure there are a few who have had the same issue...once or twice, no doubt, but as I said, it has NEVER been mentioned as a problem as long as I've been here...not have I ever had that "problem", and I am VERY skeptical that it is even a common problem...knowing how even the smallest issue gets brought up here frequently, much less common ones. > I'm probably the same as everyone else -- I'm not going to remove > something > unless circumstances demand it.

I do not REALLY NEED it, that is certain. On the same line of thought, nor do I need a lense on the camera either I can use a piece of cardboard with a pinhole in the middle of it...nor do I need a built-in meter, good old "sunny 16" will do, or even a built-in viewfinder for that matter, just shoot from the hip! I find it funny that some people are defending not using this frigging basket (that the camera WAS designed to be used with, mind you), and I'd bet that if the RapidWinder DID come with this basket, most no one here would take the time to remove it...much less even discuss it.
