Lovely, and you know that after you weaken to the siren call of not having to worry about decreasing availability of film and C41 processing, and you buy an M, or an M9, and you then learn to worry about flat batteries, dud cards, and freeze ups, and QA and sending things to Solms, the wonderful 50+ year old M2 and the beautiful Summicron will just keep working.

 

It will never let you down, and will produce splendid image after splendid image. It will be your insurance policy against any number of camera failures.

 

I have an M3 that is the same for me.

 

Now that it has come to you, my only advice is never, ever, think of selling it. :)

Enjoy, and note that the Leicavit is the weak part of the system. With heavy use it is likely to fail. A friend of mine who was a National Geographic photographer used Leicavits extensively, and they all eventually failed, some to the extent that repair was not possible. I think it is unlikely many here would be as heavy handed a user as he (and I) were.

 

To the rest - the Abrahamsson Rapidwinder Classic is robust, smooth and quiet. I have them on all my M cameras.

Couldn't find one for LTM and while looking for it noticed that there are no M versions available either.

 

Did you contact the inventor and maker, Tom Abrahamsson?

Here is his home page: RapidWinder.com Home

 

Email here.

 

This link is for all the people who sell the Rapidwinder.

Good luck!
