My 0.72 TTL has no bounce whatsoever and you cannot "stop" the winder/motor by holding the release down. Another M gave symptoms similar to shutter bounce if you used speeds slower than 1/50 and continuous firing. Another one would occasionally lock up and you would have to remove the winder/motor to get everything working again. I have said many times before and I will say it again: there needs to be an electronic switch in the camera that lets the winder/motor start its cycle after the shutter has finished its cycle. Until that time, I will only use my wider/motors with speeds above 1/50. RapidWinders, on the other hand, work perfectly with no problems. So that is what is mounted on my cameras 99.99% of the time.
