If i even push slightly on the button, by accident, when winding the film it makes a little buzzing sound/feel, as if something behind it is bumping along a gear. Otherwise the camera is silky smooth wenn wound using the film advance lever on the camera When i wind the camera with the winder, but don't touch the button, it also makes the same sound, sort of a geary sound, not loud, not harsh, not anything bad, just a slight geary buzzing sound and I can feel the button vibrating with the sound, ie 1:1 whatever is making the sound is hitting something behind the button. Is this bad? Is this normal? Is it just the gears and thingies being pushed around in a different torque/direction? Camera was just purchased last year pretty much unused and serviced by Sherry Krauter last fall, should be tip-top. I feel no hesitation/drag in the winder, just the geary noise. Wouldn''t even worry about it at all except it's a noise. just wondering if any of you others iwth an button rewind M2 and winder notice the same thing. that's assuming anyone else with a button m2 uses a winder. There aren't that many, i see tom is planning another 100 this year. charlie trentelman
