Rewind button on M2

[Rogrund]

A small problem, but annoying nonetheless: the rewind button on my M2 doesn't "pop out" by itself when I'm finished rewinding and beginning to load the next roll.

Anybody had the same problem? Is there a trick I don't know of?

Have you tried winding?

Yes, but it only creates an unpleasant sound from the gears.

How do you get the button 'out' again, then?

It sounds like time for a CLA. My early M2 requires that the button be held in while rewinding. Later Button M2's remained pushed in until the camera is wound. I do not know where the change in design occurred.

The plastic toothpick from a swiss army knife usually works fine...

You're probably right. However, it was CLA'd not that long ago. 🙁

The round spring under the rewind button on your camera is kaputt. I've had the same problem. A new spring and everything is OK.

Just be aware that you need a special tool to fix the button back on again. The button on my early M2 went AWOL shortly after a CLA by someone in the US. I had it fixed by CRR in Luton, UK - fine ever since.

OK, thanks!
