The M3 has a dish cavity you can ROLL your finger into during release. When i eventually get an M3 that will be the only body I'll not be using softies with. I got some loctite last week and some other different color softies. They really are nice. I loose a frame every so often but it doesn't throw me. Less so because i am now using camera straps, Domke's, instead of putting strapless cameras into small bags.
