Sound familiar? It must be the Revenge of the Gnomes of Solms! I find I've been wasting 2-3 frames per roll, and it's getting annoying. The only way I can figure to avoid it is to change my habit of cocking the shutter after each shot. Old dog, new trick. Will it work? Who knows, but that soft release is so nice I'm even willing to change the way I work to accommodate its demands... If anyone comes up with a better solution, I'm all ears. Paul
