New s3 winder lever

[Fraser]

One thing that has annoyed me about my s3 has been the wind-on lever, I had an old f with the newer style lever. Ten minutes later!

Ha, funny. 45 years ago I was yanking my brother's chain about how my Leica M3 lever was a piece of art, where his S3's levers looked like they were punched out of tin cans by the same factory that made those little clicker frogs. I'm glad someone finally thought to fix that.
