I simply reminded everyone that the basket is not really necessary, and Leica put it there to help people who couldn't get the film onto the sprockets under their own steam. Therefore, when you get a Rapidwinder without one, it is NOT really needed unless you are one of the unfortunate aforementioned souls who can't seem to get the film on the sprockets and wind on. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
