With all the little changes they've made to the M camera lately (DX coding, on-off switches etc.), a simple doohickey in the bottom of the camera would've allowed the introduction of a proper motor drive, possibly with motorized rewind (now there's a novel concept). I admire Tom's Rapidwinder tremendously but, as a right eye user, I just don't need it. I need a motor I can use comfortably one-handed.
