No, you don’t need to lift a knob to advance the film. At least in a fully working camera. You lift this knob only to rewind the film in the cassette. There is also a pin with the red stripe inside the knob, you can see it rotates if the film advances correctly

This is good to know, thank you. Looking at the design, it looks like it is supposed to operate like you described but the pieces don't move independently on mine so I wasn't sure.

Cool. The problem with these non Leica range finders , is they just aren’t as good. That’s then said fact Leica m3 has the best view finder of any camera ever made, and the other models are still superior to other rangefinder branded cameras. I’d still use an old Nikon slr over any range finder anyday of the week. They have 100% view finders so what you see is what you get. Range finders are simply inaccurate for framing and focus

You bring up a lot of very good points. Thanks for your comment. I'd rather use an SLR over a rangefinder any day too. I'd love to try an old Nikon rangefinder too but for the price I'd rather buy a Leica. I have a couple Leicas and I hate loading the film, but other than that they beat the Canon. I also think the Canon 7S is a much better rangefinder than the P, but I haven't finished the 7S video yet and it's not high on the priority list.

@@deadshot640 I just prioritize accuracy in framing and focus over anything else and an slr beats a range finder for accuracy. I’ve had so many prints come out in the darkroom and I said to myself “that is not how I framed it” when I shot with my leicas. I love how they feel and shoot, but they’re simply inaccurate and expensive compared to a Nikon f or f2/3. And as much and no one discusses it, the Nikon f lenses are better than Leicas
