Well, I loved the trigger wind for Bessa T, for left-eyed types it&#039;s light, easy, quick. After a long time with the RapidWinder on a Leica M6, this was a no-brainer for me.&nbsp; I started aeons back with with Canon VT, of course.<br /><br />However... until the Bessaflex, there was no SLR which offered a winder. I hummed and hawed, really wanting a bayonet mount version, but of course the Bessaflex is now discontinued - oops. <br /><br />Question though. Does this SLR (and the R series) have the same base plate configuration as the Cosina CT slr series? These take a winder, of course. Therefore, would any of them work with the trigger wind? Has anyone gone looking for this combination?&nbsp; Or the latest VC43 SLR with K mount, perhaps?<br /><br />I noticed the Vivitar XC-3 pictured appeared to have a pretty similar looking drive cog layout, but the base plate was obviously a little wider. So it probably doesn&#039;t work. <br /><br />Any experience or opinions out there? <br /><br />thanks very much..
