It's beautifully made, works great, fits wonderfully. And costs way too much. But I paid it anyway. So I'd certainly pay $20 for a soft release from you. Just FYI, I have an adapter ring that allows me to use my Hasselblad Pro-Shade on my 40 mm Distagon CF FLE. At the time I bought it new they were $106. It's only a flat piece of anodized, machined metal with some threads cut into it. Carl S.
