Advertisement Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Leicaporter, Take a look here Loving my newly bought M2 Button and Original Leicavit MP!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
k_g_wolf ✝ Posted May 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2014 A great find! That´s a wonderful combo with the chrome LEICAVIT. Welcome to the forum, a splendid first posting BTW. Best GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsheepdog Posted May 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 13, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Fanatic Posted June 23, 2014 Share #6 Posted June 23, 2014 The Leicavit looks great and unlike a lot of accessories, doesn't mess with the proportions in an unpleasant way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmrider2 Posted June 23, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have a 1958 M2. After owning all other M's since 1974, it is the one I am keeping (along with an M9). Friend of mine shoots for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and he keeps a pair of M2's around for use after the electro magnetic pulse when all his digital stuff goes kaput.

pico Posted June 25, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 25, 2014 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.

Guest Posted June 26, 2014 Share #11 Posted June 26, 2014 Couldn't find one for LTM and while looking for it noticed that there are no M versions available either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_g_wolf ✝ Posted June 26, 2014 Share #12 Posted June 26, 2014 People are getting old, not only those behind the cameras, also the ones making them ... Best GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you contact the inventor and maker, Tom Abrahamsson? Here is his home page: RapidWinder.com Home Email here.
