Soligor winder for Oly is sold in Italy for about 120$ brand new from
official importer. Unfortunately I haven't got any personal experience
with it.
A friend of mine bought one for Minolta MD last year (doesn't have the
hand grip), and hasn't broken yet.
Probably it is worth the money it costs.
I dont't even think the built in timer is an interesting feature.
The best feature that other universal winders haven't got is the hand
grip.
I would buy Soligor among universal's producers just for the hand grip.
The choice is your.
