regarding that link to the viso, i have a pair of viso IIs and neither of 
them has the black piece under the shutter release (about the proportions of 
a
pencil eraser).  i have noticed there is a screwhole tapped into
the bottom of the shutter release.  any idea where someone might have
a box of these thigies, or more probably what makes a good substitute?

thanks,

-rei
