And, yes, Tootsie is the confirmation giver.. ON TOPIC... When I had dinner with the delightful Medley's during their recent and frenetic stay in Boston, David demonstrated the way to avoid wasting exposure after exposure by accidentally tripping the TA Softie: He places a large rubber band between the softie and the camera body...it works... I have, however, improved slightly on his "invention": Take a small, 2" long, rubber band, remove your camera strap, run it through the band, and reconnect the strap....When you're not shooting, slip one end of the rubber band around the softie, the other end remains around the strap...when you shoot, just flip the band off the softie and it hands on the strap....Always there...I had given up on using the softie because I found the accidental exposures so frustrating...now I am once again a happy Softie...user... That's the high-tech Leica fix for the day... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of David Medley Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 1999 7:27 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Calling all Bostonian LUGnuts (apathetic or otherwise) Hey B.D. Why don't you tell them that the real confirmation giver in that house is Tootsie! AND.....is it really 97 degrees in town right now??? I think everyone, including Tootsie, needs to take a trip west. - -----Original Message----- From: B. D.
