Rewind Crank and Wind Knob for Barnack Leica

Category
Other Accessories

Two attachments for the screw-mount Leicas: a crank that makes rewinding easy, and a wind knob you can turn with one stroke of a finger.

The wind knob. With it fitted, the film advances under the pad of one finger, in a single stroke. Winding becomes quick, and your fingertip stops hurting. It is made of acrylic, so it does not go cold in winter — which anyone who has worked outdoors in the north will appreciate. The knob is clear, so the frame counter stays visible, and the counter can be set with the knob in place.

The crank. Rewinding is transformed. Brass, like the body, so a worn finish ages the way the camera does.

Both are fixed with the supplied key. The knob comes clear; the crank in silver or black.
