Place a two-inch long rubber band around your finger, so that it forms a perpendicular with the finger. This is how you use the rubber band with the Softie - the band rides between the Softie and the shutter release button cup, preventing accidental depression of the shutter release. But don't forget, the rubber band has to be black for this to work..:-) Dr. Black Tape - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of sam Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 7:10 PM To: lug Subject: [Leica] Dear Dr. Black Tape (was Rubber bands and Softies) <<The only drawback to the softie is that, because it sticks up from the top of the body, it is easilly tripped in the camera bag or by the users clothing. Thus the rubber band. When looped around the softie it keeps the shutter being accidentally tripped..>> I must be missing something, but wouldn't putting a rubber band around a cocked shutter trip it? And if it's not cocked, why do you need a rubber band?
