Thanks.

I've also had a reply off-list:

"All Olympus motor winders should stop at the end of the film without ripping
through the perforations.
"You are correct, there is a torque setting  that can be adjusted. This
adjustment can be done easily if you have the tool, but may want  a
specialist to do it."

The first response suggests that, unless you have very good reactions, when 
shooting on sequence, it's highly probably that the film will get ripped at the 
sprockets.

The second response doesn't deny this, but tends to suggest (to me at least) 
that this is not the case.

Are there any further opinions on this?

Thanks in advance.

Simon
