Shooting with and without a winder... I prefer carrying the LX without the winder as the batteries make the package heavy. I have the winder mounted on the LX right now for photos at gymnastics meets. The action is fast paced and I don't want to remove my eye from the viewfinder to wind the film. I'm using the camera with long lenses (135/200/300) and a monopod. This lets me concentrate on focusing and the decisive moment. Regards, Bob S.
