I'm not in favor of the Nikon film-advance approach. What I would rather see is something similar to what is on my old Canon F-1n. This is a ring that sits around the shutter release almost like the cup around that of the M3. To lock it you just rotate this ring; to unlock, do the oppositte. It fits naturally under one's index finger. This way I can keep the camera cocked and locked and ready to go without being surprised that it is not cocked or having to change from a "B" setting.
