Tom Abrahamsson of RapidWinder.com It is almost never that an inventor improves on a Leica product so that it is better than the original Leica product. Tom holds that distinction with his RapidWinder for Leica M rangefinders -- a bottom mounting baseplate trigger advance. In addition Tom manufacturers other Leica accessories such as his very popular Soft Release and MiniSoftRelease shutter releases. Tom is well known as one of the true Leica rangefinder experts, even by Leica. IMPORTANT READ THIS: CWE Forum hosts have moderation powers within their forum.

Spring powered Rapidwinder?
Tom, have you ever been tempted by the idea of designing a spring powered Rapidwinder? Sort of a low profile MOOLY for M cameras?

Might be an interesting engineering challenge. I wonder if you could fit a spring
big enough in to such a small space to power the winder for a full roll of 36 exp.

The Robot camera was smaller than an M (square half-frameish?) and if I remember
correctly managed to pull this off with one 'charge' of the winder.

cheers,

HL
