FrankSL&M Posted April 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I find the shutter button feel is different on the M10 vs my old M240. Wondering if anyone here has tried a soft release on the M10. I was looking at the Komaru soft release in Ti matte finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Hi FrankSL&M, Take a look here Soft Release on M10. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
otto.f Posted April 3, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I feel a difference in shutter button release between my M9 and my MM1, resulting in a thumbsup soft release (beep) on my M9 and nothing on my MM1. I tried a small soft release (bug) on my M10, which I found has no surplusvalue. The height at which the shutter responds to a push on the button seems to differ within camera type in my experience, being all handmade bodies Edited April 3, 2017 by otto.f 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankSL&M Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 3, 2017 I actually didn't like the soft release feel on the M9 and M240. Tried on both these models and either gave Soft Release away or it unscrewed itself and got lost. For some reason my M10's shutter has a mushy unresponsive feel to it. I was wondering (hoping) that a soft release can correct this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted April 3, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Mine isn't mushy at all, very clear, and probably causing a few less movement blurs on 100 captures Edited April 3, 2017 by otto.f Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankSL&M Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted April 3, 2017 Mine isn't mushy at all, very clear, and probably causing a few less movement blurs on 100 captures By Mushy I meant it has a small lag between when shutter depressed to activation. I don't know if it is just a different feel between models rather than a fault (hopefully mine is not broken). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted April 4, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Yes I understood that, but that's it: of there's a small lag you have less chance of movement blur. But let it check with a dealer if you don't trust it, you feel quite a difference, so.. Edited April 4, 2017 by otto.f Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonanno Posted April 7, 2017 Share #7 Posted April 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tried a couple of soft releases on my M10. Decided I like it better without. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesmoke Posted April 7, 2017 Share #8 Posted April 7, 2017 I have the same filling with my M10 Otto. M9 & M240 are much more responsive in my opinion. With flash m10 is even worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
25centgiraffes Posted April 17, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 17, 2018 I think I'm experiencing this also. Coming from an M246 to the M10, I'm noticing that the first "stage" of travel is quite a bit further. The travel to shutter actuation is very short however. I put a soft release on the camera and it feels a bit better. I was a bit annoyed with my finger seemingly bottoming out in the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said: the depth of the response can be adjusted to your liking by Leica Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted April 17, 2018 Share #12 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Production line bodies hand assembled? I doubt whether I understand what you mean. Do you doubt that the M’s are handcrafted, from M3 to M10? Did you ever visit Leica Wetzlar or Solms? Edited April 17, 2018 by otto.f Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted April 17, 2018 Share #13 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Handcrafted means one at a time. Leica Has parts made on a assembly line and partially built. Then they are hand assembled and finished at the Wetzlar factory. Edited April 17, 2018 by jdlaing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted April 18, 2018 Share #14 Posted April 18, 2018 I use a large soft release on my M10. I like the feel & find it very useful Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
