Re: [Leica] Leicavit vs Canon Built-in Winder

["SML" <leirex@access4less.net>]

Thank you for the info, Don.  It seems judging from your experience that the
Canon with the built-in winder is definitely a bargain compared with the
Leica SM body and winder combo.  Once I have a plethora of the LTM lenses
(Leitz, Canon, Nikon and third-party), I had better start looking for a good
working Canon like VI.  Is there anything that I need to be careful about in
search of a Canon with built-in winder?

Thanks,
David
