Leica Soft Release Button for M-System Cameras (Black, 0.5")

Why a soft release? From the moment I started using one years ago, I was hooked. I just find it much more comfortable than to go without one. Now on to this Leica model. Yes, I realize that these soft releases are laughably expensive for what they are. But the cheap ones I've used would always find a way to work themselves off, no matter if I used a rubber washer or not. So, unhappy with the performance of the bargain priced buttons I've always used in the past, I begrudgingly parted with my money and gave this OEM button a try on my M11. This is the first time I've had a soft release where I didn't immediately start wishing it were designed differently. The simple M is unobtrusive and sleek, not attention-grabbing and conspicuous. And it screwed on tightly and securely, and the knurling around the edge really makes a difference. Honestly, even without a rubber washer, it is tighter and more secure than any other brand I've tried. Ultimately, I finally feel like I've found my forever soft release. Thus, the high price might actually be a wash, considering my never-ending search among the cheaper brands.
