Hmmm... my winder was purchased from a shop specializing in repairs, and was used by the guy who owned it. Maybe he made mods to the winder. My winder will not activate the meter if the winder itself is off.

That's not how the manual says it should work, or for that matter the way either of my winders works on any of my MX's. Camera or Winder off or on press halfway down on the Winder release and the meter turns on.

Here's how the MX winder works with my MXen: a) Winder off, camera off: no metering when winder release is pressed. b) Winder off, camera on: no metering when winder release is pressed. c) Winder on, camera off: metering when winder release pressed. d) Winder on, camera on: metering when winder release is pressed.
Ideally, only d) would activate the meter.
Moral to this story: turn winder and camera off when storing.

Michel,
This is how two different MX Winders have operated with my MX camera. So, I suspect it is normal...
Normal ? It's a major risk to drain battery ! The Winder ME II don't do this. Michel
