Hi, sorry, not good enough. This is also the way the MX winder works. I've used it, don't like it. It's not the same as the function I described. I want to be able to put the camera in my bag, or leave it hanging from my shoulder without having advanced the film. I then want to decide when to advance the film and take some action to advance it, rather than having to prevent the camera from doing it.
