moment when it didn't turn when I looked while winding after my second or 
third shot today, but then the brain kicked in and I pulled up the lever, and 
it 
went 'round on the next advance.
Walt, the German engineers were good, but not that good.  You just discovered 
the inherent sloppiness of film in a canister.  The Leica is just like the OM 
with regard to the rewind crank turning when you advance the film, no secret 
disengaging mechanism.  Keep shooting the thing and you will soon know all 
it's charms.
