I trained myself to not wind the film after the last photograph. Under some circumstances (the heat of photographing), winding the film is automatic. So now you are ready to put your camera & softie away. I simply take one more photograph. Where ever you are, of anything near. The way I figure, a deliberate photograph of anything is ALWAYS going to be better than a photograph of the inside of your bag. So when you are sorting your slides or prints, put these aside. At some point you will have a collection of photographs that you never would have taken other than to eliminate a false release. It's amazing what treasures you can find, which would not have been there if you didn't have a soft release. Jim
