Subject: [Leica] pressing M shutter

<fontfamily><param>New_York</param>I would be interested to hear how
you people press the M shutter to make sure there is as little camera
movement as possible.


Do you push the release button with the tip of your index finger?


Or do you place your finger so that it extends slightly over and to the
left of the release button (i.e. with the button just underneath the
midpoint between the first and second section of the finger)   and then
release by straightening the finger?  (This was the method proposed in
the manual for the old Contax M cameras in the sixties.)


Do you put the thumb below the advance lever and and press the lever up
to counteract the downward pressure on the release
button?</fontfamily>
