What is a trigger winder? I would like to see an M-42 camera that is similar to the ESII so that I could use my open aperture SMC Takumars. Good Spotmatics might still be found on eBay, but how about ES or ESII cameras? I don't need an ES II now, because my current ones are still functioning. I just worry about the electronics, that when something goes out I may not be able to have it fixed.
