Welcome to the World of Action Photography!

Exclusively designed for use with the Pentax LX camera, the Winder LX is a high precision
instrument which affords you the pleasures and convenience of automatic film advance. Compact and
lightweight, it attaches quickly and easily to the camera's tripod socket and can be fired with the
camera's shutter release hutton or remotely via the optional Remote Control Cord. Other convenient
features include two mode settings permitting the option of single-frame or consecutive film advance
up to speeds of two-frames per second in synchronization with the camera's shutter speed. There's
also an LED indicator which lights when you reach the end of the roll, and a unique automatic film
rewind feature that lets you rewind a full 36-exposure cassette in just seconds. Be sure to read this
manual carefully to familiarize yourself with all the features of the winder and guard against
unwanted exposure failures.
