=============================================
This is a priceless shot!  I love it.


About this: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/br/stack.jpg.html>

I just don't get it - Leica M's have the best, softest, most predictable 
shutter release ever made, so
I don't see the point of those "soft-release" gadgets.  I use the feel of 
the dished-in shutter surround
to know exactly where I can hold the button just on the edge of firing; then 
a micro-press sets it off.
When I tried one of those attachments the shutter would go off unpredictably 
since there was no gauge
of how far I was pressing, and I thus the camera might not have been as 
steady as it should have been.

But as they say, YMMV.
