But the M5 take-up spool also has a built-in flaw: those individual petals are prone to working loose after several years of use, necessitating replacement of the entire take-up spool. If you plan to be a dedicated M5 user, buy yourself a spare take-up spool (they pull out easily, like M2/M3 spools). IMHO, this is the camera's sole flaw. The body is big enough to not need a rapid winding baseplate accessory. Emanuel Lowi Montreal - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
