And if things are busy (i.e. a couple of cameras, fast moving crowd or group, striking miners and riot cops, 30 cops launching a mounted horseback charge... etc it's easy not to check the rotating rewind...) I'm not saying it's an everyday occurrence, but I can bet you many LUGGERS have done it! If you are shooting nice and leisurely a la the Leica Dentist on vacation, or working closely with a family in their home, sure, take the time to check the rewind.. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
