My last camera has been outfitted with a RapidWinder which brings the 
total up to three and surely entitles me to free meal in Vancouver with 
Tom and his wife sometime in the near future :-). This last RW is for 
my aged but faithful M2. It was very hard to find an M2 RW as Tom has 
stopped making them. I was only able to get a gleaming shiny black 
paint one from Ken Hansen. It is well known fact, and not disputed by 
me, that I actually use my M cameras and they get bumped and dropped 
and worse – which I will not go into knowing there may well be 
collectors about and I hate bringing tears to vaguely intelligent 
people*. Even I can see that whacking this one silly may well be 
slightly sacrilegious. So if you have a beat up M2 RW or now need a 
Black paint one because you sold out to the dark side, I will trade you 
straight across my Shiny Black One for whatever colour M2 RW you have. 
Bonus points if it is the "Hello Kitty" version.

I am only posting this once and on Monday the Shiny Black Paint M2 RW 
goes to work if no Dudley Do-Right comes to her rescue.

equipment but not intelligent enough to know what to do with it.
