Re: Pentax winder me II - who had used?
Have used MEII winder for 25 years on Super A, very good feel, too loud for skittish wildlife at close range. Keeping body and winder well lubed helps noise level. - Original Message - From: "Derek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ; Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 10:15 AM Subject: RE: Pentax winder me II - who had used? > I have had my ME-II winder for about 20 years on my ME Super, and ergonomically, I don't think any camera fits better in my hand. The winder makes the ME Super easy and comfortable to hold. The only downside is that while the ME Super is probably the quietest Pentax camera (at least in terms of shutter) ever made, the ME-II winder will wake the dead.

RE: Pentax winder me II - who had used?
I have had my ME-II winder for about 20 years on my ME Super, and ergonomically, I don't think any camera fits better in my hand. The winder makes the ME Super easy and comfortable to hold. The only downside is that while the ME Super is probably the quietest Pentax camera (at least in terms of shutter) ever made, the ME-II winder will wake the dead. However, even with the winder attached and turned on, if you need stealth, just pressing the shutter release on the ME Super body (as the body shutter release stays on manual even if winder is on). The switches for the winder are up by the trigger button, so it is easy to turn on and off. I still use the ME Super just because if fits so well in my hand with the winder. I have not had any problems with the ME-II winder and would highly recommend it.

RE: Pentax winder me II - who had used?
I use it for my P50. It works well, ergonomically as well. It's not exactly quiet.

Re: Pentax winder me II - who had used?
I used mine quite a lot until I bought a PZ-20 and sort of retired it. The only complaint was that the way I held the camera, I was putting one thumb in the middle of the back for support, and it tended bow the back and spring the latch, causing it to open in the middle of a roll. Really why I stopped using it. J.W.L. - Original Message - From: "tomecz na o2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 6:11 AM Subject: Pentax winder me II - who had used?

RE: Pentax winder me II - who had used?
The ME-II winder works very well with The ME Super and almost all other "M" bodies designed for a winder. Also work well with the Super A/Program. It gives a good feel and grip to the camera. It is however quite loud, sounds just like you'd expect an older winder to sound. The nice thing though is that you can turn it off and use the camera manually, just using the winder for a grip and to add some weight to the camera. I still own 2 of these but don't use them much anymore, when I need auto- wind I grab the ZX-5n or one of the PZ bodies.
