You mean two squeezes on the rapidwinder lever for each film advance? It might then be called a notso.... Still if it were possible I'm sure Tom A has thought about it at some point. Drop him a line on or off-list? I have the DS M3 as well and am looking for a winder for the M7. What is your experience with the DS advance? I was surprised to find that mine requires a greater effort (pressure) to operate for each stroke, than the single stroke on the M6 & M7. I imagined it would have been lighter. The shutter release though, is unequalled by anything else I have ever tried (that uses film, not ammunition) ;-) Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tom Schofield Sent: Friday, 13 October 2006 11:28 To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] More Rapidwinder questions Thanks for the responses -- I see that I should have given more info. I have an M6 type Rapidwinder that I was thinking of selling, but am now purchasing an M3 DS, and got to thinking I might want to keep the Rapidwinder for it. So that raises two issues - 1) what are the mods you mention -- the "quick-load" kit?, and 2) does the fact that it is a double stroke body change things?
