You will see the difference when it is folded open, as I mentioned above
##leica is probably the only one one could call a "mass market manufacturer"
What is the overall experience with these metered knobs? It's 2024 - do they still generally respond correctly?
Yes, a nice LED readout visible when looking down at the waist level finder would have been a fantastic addition. Well, we can dream anyway.It's a shame that a company such as Gossen never launched a modern alternative, maybe even with a digital display.
Every image of a 501CM I've seen shows the same crank as mine. Like this one:

just a reminder - the fold-out cranks can also be used as knobs (when not folded out).
On manual bodies I prefer the crank. But I mostly use an EL body, so none of that hand cranking for me, except when loading film.
is there a way to attach a winding crank to the EL models
As Don_ih noted, the EL’s are bricks without power. Mine is a 553 ELX which uses AA’s so easy to find in a pinch.Good point - is there a way to attach a winding crank to the EL models, in case of battery failure?
