Rewind crank for IIIf?

[NeeZee]

I've been using the IIIf as my main camera for several years and love it - I don't even mind the film loading, it's not as slow as some think once you've done it a few hundred times 🙂.

imo, the really annoying thing is not loading but rewinding the film. on the net i read something about a rewind crank but only for M2/M3/MP. does anyone of you have a nice (DIY) solution for the screwmount leicas?

Scan all the way to the bottom of this page and you'll see an example of what you are looking for.

Not sure it's worth it really. But if you find one - post an image here! I've thought about creating one - I can imagine something better for use but it wouldn't be as elegant...

Ide be willing to tackle such a project. The problem is really the small size.
quick fix? Buy a used cq rewind lever for M, add gaffers tape...
I can imagine this working on a If,c,etc. Ugly, but it just might fit the bill

Just compared my MD knob to my If and it would appear they are only slightly different, a single layer of tae should do.
As far as fitting it on a IIIf, you may encounter some clearance issues with the rf housing.
