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. :-) Karen Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ http://www.photoethnography.com/blog/ -- _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
