curt wiler Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Before I purchase a used CW winder, I would like to know if mirrorlock-up is possible with the winder attached to a 503CW. I can't tellfrom pictures if it is possible to activate the MLU lever. Also, is itnecessary to retain the original tripod adapter plate - or can Ireplace it with one more compatible with the Arca Swiss system andstill attach the winder? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauh44 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi Curt, I've got the Winder CW on my 503CW and mirror lockup works fine with it attached. It's a little tricky finding the lever at first, but once you've got, it's no problem. I've never replaced my adapter plate. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauh44 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I should've said that once the winder is attached, it obscures the MLU release button, making it hard to find at first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
