Please skip the frame rate of the motor regarding sports. I have always had winders on all of my R cameras. The winders are a joy to use as they are lighter and smaller than the drive and do a perfect job of advancing the film without human intervention. Batteries seem to last a v-e-r-y long time. I once sold an R6 (sans winder as the winder moved to my new R7) and discovered that the manual wind lever mechanism had a problem of not being able to completely wind the frame one out of three or four winds. I had never seen this since the winder was mated to the R6 since the day I opened the box. My current two R7's and one R4sP all have winders attached and there they will stay. Why use a dump truck when a simple pick-up will work. Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
