In my exerience I am steadier with an SLR that has a motor or winder simply because I don't constantly readjust my grip on the camera. I have the M6 winder and find that the bouncy shutter release does as much to rattle my grip as does winding the film. So I've been manually winding. I've always thought the M with a good winder would be the ultimate tool. No image blackout, no moving the camera. It's what made me think about a Contax G (not too seriously, I'd miss my framelines, not to mention the abuse I'd get here). The manual winder sounds closer to what I have always wanted. I'll be buying one. Tom At 06:16 PM 10/19/97 -0400, you wrote: >At 04:10 PM 10/19/97 -0400, Ted Grant wrote: >>What do you think?
