I'd like to try out the RapidW myself. I can see shooting with it until I
turn the camera vertically. Then I have no idea how I'd use it. Or maybe
then I'd just default back to the normal advance lever. Which would still be
a little jerky for me as I move the camera as I wind. I also wish the handle
he sells was attached to the winder so it sit flush but it's not to big a
deal. But regardless of which one you choose they BOTH cost a small
fortune...
