Naw that base plate is just like a knife of the olden day pirates who held
their weapon between their teeth! ;-)

If I'm working with the standard base plate and not Tom Abrahamsson's
RapidWinder and change film it's a piece of cake, no fuss no muss thing.
.
Heck it's base plate off, immediately between the teeth,  film change and
base plate returned in nothig flat! :-) And trust me I've never lost one nor
had to dig around looking for it in my bag or pockets.  :-) And no I've
never swallowed one! ;-)

Now the RapidWinder? Naw it doesn't work between the teeth, but hard pressed
I bet one could under extreme conditions. ;-)  But Tom doesn't warranty your
teeth! ;-)
