Subject: [Leica] Leica R Winder or Motor
From: "David Strang" <dstrang@chartermi.net>

I just picked up a used R-Winder for my R5/R7.  I've had the Motor Drive - R
and
got the Winder hoping it was less battery hungry and maybe smaller and
lighter than
the Motor Drive. It seems the only difference is the 4 less AA batteries and
their
ensuing weight.

Is there anyone who has an opinion or experience about using the Winder or
the Motor
Drive?  Please skip the frame rate of the motor regarding sports.

I'm looking at scenic work and I like to have motorized film advance. Is the
Winder
worthwhile when I could get another Motor Drive at a similar price and it is
very similar
in size and weight?

Please opine!

Regards,
Dave Strang
