Subject: RE: [Leica] soft release

The Rapidgrip doesn't have a tripod socket on the bottom. The Leica grip
does. The Rapidgrip has a spare battery compartment built in. The Lieca grip
doesn't. 

When I bought the Rapidgrip I was disappointed by the lack of a tripod
socket. I thought I would miss it. I don't miss it, and I find the spare
battery compartment much more useful. I also like the feel of the Rapidgrip
better than I do the Leica grip. It's a great accessory and I use my
RapidGrip all the time. 

I didn't use the soft release socket on the Rapidgrip for a spare. I used it
as a holder when I didn't want my soft release  on the camera (for instance,
when the body was stored in my bag). 

I lost my soft release and haven't replaced it yet. I probably need to buy a
half dozen. They're great, but they seem to escape easily.

Feli,

Try also Tom's Rapidgrip; it gives you a much better grip on your M6, and
has a socket for a spare soft release...
