I have the prototype and have used it on both the M6, R8 and an R7. It sure makes a difference in shutter releasing by soft touch. I had one of the "N" releases on my Leica's but they just were slight little release extenders, whereas Tom's soft release is very well designed and produced, even as prototypes. I sent him an order for 5 as I hate taking things off and screwing them into other bodies. Just like I hate fiddling around changing lenses and that's why I have three bodies of everything. 4 in a few cases. If you fiddle with one body you loose too many photo opportunities. I don't mean peeling paint and non-breathing things, but hummman beings do things! :) I'm sure he'll come back from Tokyo to a buch of orders! ted
