I'd seen the Rapidwinder on the web, and read Steven Gandy's comments. Having now played with Tom A's cameras which all had winders I think it is superb. it's a lot smaller than appears to be in webphotos. I found using the 3rd and 4th fingers (pianist's fingering!) on the winder with thumb and forfinger for focusing worked great. I tried this with 75mm 35mm 21mm 15mm lenses and it was great. I want one! The camera feels really solidly supported and you never need to take the M away from your eye. Julian
