Lens release button question

I just purchased a new black M10. Of course, I'd seen the photos that show a slightly different lens release button than on the 240 - it's of no matter to me, except this one feels like it is the slightest bit 'rattly'...lens mounts solid with a good 'click', no issues there. But the tab/button has some movement..not of the kind where it's going to release the lens mind you. Just like a part that isn't screwed down tight. All my other Leicas (MP film, M9, MP240) although their buttons may vary slightly, are all bank vault solid even when there's no lens on it....there's no movement of the button itself. 

 

I may just be focusing on nothing...like I said, the lens mount is solid, the type of looseness I'm describing isn't of the kind where things are disengaging..just the button itself if that makes sense. 

 

Other M10 owners....put me at ease...or not...

 

 

[M11 for me]

Mine moves slightly too.

Three to go... and same thing ;-)

I noticed the same thing on mine too.

Of course I had to try mine. If it does move, it is so slight I cannot feel it.

I have not checked my M10, but knowing it is German made, it must be perfect.

_{Less than a week after I bought it, my M10 ceased to function.  The shutter button had felt soft for several days, and then stopped responding.  Half an hour later, over a beer, I notice that the shutter button surround is unscrewed.  Once tightened, everything is as it should be. I was surprised that something as basic as this could come loose.}

That's the first suggestion in the German language trouble shooting manual.

[Hey You]

It should be the first suggestion in any trouble shooting manual.

Slashdot had a great comment on trouble shooting manuals.  Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.
