On a button rewind M2 do you have to hold in the rewind button while rewinding the entire roll of film, or is the button supposed to lock in place when you push it in? (Also, where can I buy an add-on rewind crank?)

On most button rewind M2 cameras you have to hold the button in. This is a major pain!! Do not buy a button rewind camera unless it is very inexpensive. On the last of the button rewind M2 cameras, the button would lock down so these are just as good as the lever rewind cameras and usually sell for a little bit less.

Here is a link to the rewind cranks:
