[LRFlex] Re: R8 Winder problem?

Alex,

I concour, not only the winder, my 50mm summilux is still in Kit, waiting for repair.

My Dad just laughed at me, pointing his old Minolta SRT and MC lens never gave up.

Cheers.

The winder would power the camera and rewind, but not advance the film. Then, suddenly, it worked.

I am at a loss to explain it!

Anybody have a better idea?

Yep - get yourself a Nikon MD-4 motor drive (99.9% reliable), and a Nikon F3..... :-)

Seriously folks, Leica always seem to have problems with winders. The brand new one I bought for my R3 either ran away with film or didn't work at all. It is now in my junk cupboard (closet?)
No such problems with Nikons.


Best

Alex
