The original gearbox and clutch on my fifty-year-old Fordson Super Dexta are still fine, and I can hardly ever remember shifting while in motion. And I (almost) always double-clutch when downshifting my old 300ZX Nissan. There's nothing even slightly agricultural about the works of a Leica; I'm trying to think of the best camera analogy to a non-synchro gearbox... a Zenit, maybe, or even better - the advance mechanism on a Start. Or a Graflex? Nice to have you around, Frank!
