He believes a camera is a tool, not neck jewelry. Mine is a very early M6 from 1985 or 1986 that he took all over India, North Africa and Europe as his only camera. He replaced it with a couple of M6 TTL's in the late '90's. I called him and asked and he has never had a problem with the slanted rewind knob. Just one man's experience, YMMV.
