Hey all,
I wish I had saved the image, but didn't so I will try to explain what I saw.
It was one of the Barnack Leica's with the knurled film advance knob like they all have, but this specific one had some sort of mechanism on the advance knob which turned it into a lever of sort which looked cool and handy if I'm being honest.
It looked like it had some sort of gear system on it where when you advance the film you would then pull the lever back and as you did the lever would roll over little teeth and then lock into place until the lever was flush with the body like any other film camera. I've been searching for a image of what I saw months ago but unfortunately have come empty in my search and am only left with the mental image.
I know there are options to help with advancing these old cameras such as SCNOO Rapid-Winder. Although I am not sure if it would work with my 1934 III.
At the end of the day using the knob isn't the end of the world and doesn't even bother me. I was just more fascinated by what I saw and was curious if anyone has seen what it is I tried to describe.
