abrewer Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share #2186 Posted May 6, 2011 Bip Beep Boop They all look very clever, but one thing I value is being able to extend my index and change speed I'm wondering if the soft release impedes at all???

chris_livsey Posted May 6, 2011 Share #2187 Posted May 6, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) BipI'm wondering if the soft release impedes at all??? Any comments? I use the Tom Abrahamsson softie and change speed with the release finger. It does not impede, in fact the opposite, because I release using the second finger joint which places the finger tip exactly on the speed dial and facilitates both mechanical actions. YMMV etc etc. See Tom showing how on a nicely brassed Leica here:- RapidSofties No connection, economically, to Tom but he is currently producing a limited edition (100) yin/yang version being discussed on another rangefinder site which I rather like given I will use on both digital and analog cameras http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1577303&postcount=88 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments? When I fitted a soft release to my MP a few years ago, the feel of the shutter release changed completely. Without it, the shutter button has a smooth and unrestricted progression. With the Softie, the shutter release had a 'gritty', impeded feel which was very annoying. I binned the soft release 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezc203 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #2194 Posted May 9, 2011 I agree Ivan, I try to reserve the use of soft releases for situations when I know I'll need to shoot 1/8 to 1/2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted May 10, 2011 Share #2196 Posted May 10, 2011 I haven't been able to use my new addition much since I bought it, but I did use it today at Heathrow. I love the back to basics thought process required. Less really is more. I'm going to enjoy using this, I just know it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
