Leicavit and Rapid Winder Differences

Tom, will the RapidWinder fit a regular M3 ? I might be quite tempted for one, but owing both M6 and M3 and using them intercheagably I'd prefer the device to be "switchable" between the bodies...
 
Hi,
the M3 in its normal form does not accept any trigger winder. It has to be converted to either the M6 drive or to the M2M/M4M drive (this is the one with the long take-up shaft. It is not a big deal to convert it to a M6 drive (DAG/Kinderman can do it). However, in this case I do would not recomend that you "flip" winders between cameras as the M3 converted cameras do require a slight modification to the drive, compared to a regular M6/MP winder. It will work on both, but you have to pick which one it is optimized for.
