Subject: [Leica] I've never owned/used a button M2, but how does the button work?

On the early, and majority, of button rewind M2s you have to hold the 
button down while rewinding. It is a significant inconvenience. The 
last of the button rewind M2s lock down and are just as easy to use as 
the lever rewind.

I doubt that any parts are readily available to convert a hold down to 
a lock down but you could check with your favourite Leica tech to be 
sure.
