Omigod!! Why didn't I do this sooner. <snip> I personally found >it a radical improvement. I'll second that motion. Got the TA Softie (http://www.rapidwinder.com/) that I ordered (thanks for the suggestion Gary and the fast shipping Tom) two days ago and I couldn't be happier! I also got a bonus Red 'birthday celebration' Softie that Tom threw in for all the orders rec'vd that day. (This saved me from waiting for another to arrive once I found out how much I needed them and ordered more.) The black Softie makes the shutter release much easier to fire and adds a better feel to the weaker ergonomics of the larger frame M5. I also put the Red Softie on the CL mostly because it looks cool and so that it will have the same shutter feel (size wise) as the M5. I'm fairly new to the world of Leitz, but It's hard to think of a better way to spend $10 to improve the Leica experience. Leica should fit all of their bodies with Tom's Softies.
