No gadget Alan,

The LSHA soft release David offered me some time ago is very precious 
indeed on my R4 , would be on any R up to 7 too - is fun on the R8 even 
though it is not absolutely needed.
DK about Ms though. Maybe you don't need them - but Leica proved that 
they could screw things up on R4s for sure ...
Pity I can't use it on the L1, I'd love to, just for the fun of it, and 
to David's health..
Bien cordialement
