If you use the Winder 2 only as a grip, you mighet want to consider a
Photo-Equip Uni-Grip, which workse well. The site at
http://www.photoequip.net/ doesn't seem to have a link to the Uni-Grip anymore,
but they used to be there. I really like mine, and it fits just about any SLR
or even a Screw-mount Leica.
