Is the M7 mechanism steel sliding past steel? That's usually a bad
combo, as like metals are more likely to bind against each other.

The M3 wind is smooth as butter, especially on well-used models with 
a recent CLA.

My M7 is still a little stiff after about a 100 rolls, a couple of 
hundred more and I have high hopes for it. But steel never wears as 
smoothly as brass.

I've found Nikons to have very nice wind levers too.   I'm very much 
into the haptics of my toys. :-)
