[Leica] Hexar Heart Stoppage

[Robert Jagitsch <robertj@powerlogix.com>]

I just acquired a Hexar RF, and after completing the first roll and 
during a walk back to my car, the lens fell off, landing on the 
asphalt. I had a DR Summicron attached. Left two small nicks and 
crunched the filter (I'm glad I had that insurance policy in effect.) 
But otherwise no ill effects.

After searching for the cause, it seems the lens release button on 
the Hexar needs a lot less pressure to release, and there is no guard 
around the button.

Has anyone with an RF seen something similar before? I know I'm going 
to be paranoid from now on, double checking that the button hasn't 
been pressed. Any way to adjust it so it takes significantly more 
pressure before releasing?
