[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 3391, member: 1283"] I have no experience with aftermarket winders, but I can share a tip for the MD-11 with you: The main difference between the MD-11 & the MD-12 is that on the MD-11 when you turn the power switch on the motor on, it also turns on the meter in the camera which can result in dead camera batteries in short order if you leave the power switch on the MD-11 on overnight; on the MD-12, the meter is activated by pressing part way down on the motor's release button. To prevent the MD-11 from exhausting the meter batteries if the motor is left on, put a small piece of electrical tape over the outside two contacts of the four on the motor. This disables the MD-11 from turning on the meter. With the contacts taped off, flipping the advance lever out to the stand-off position will now turn on the meter as it would without a motor attached. [/QUOTE]
