Gee, thanks for the "enable" as if I needed that! ;-) ("Or two"??? I
like the way you think.)
I actually would like one though... I currently use winders in single
frame mode almost all the time anyway. But, for the times I do use
sequence (race starts mostly) the extra speed (now that I have a body
capable of it...my OM-1 is pre-MD so it doesn't count and I only
recently got an OM-4t) combined with auto rewind would be nice to have.
On that note, there is one here locally (MD-2, 15V pack, and charger)
with trial period and warranty for $375.00 but I am trying very hard to
overlook it. Thinking that forgoing the auto rewind and going for a
cheap MD-1 maybe a better way to go being as broke as we are. (Reality
is the winders will probably have to do for now...)
