No good reason why this should happen, but it did, with me, enough, and so now I have a collection of unused Softies in various colours! A man has got to have a hobby. The Leica M release is soft enough as it is, anyway. But I think too the M7 on-off switch with release lock is not as elegantly done as it should have been and, for that reason, I have given up on the M7 too. Last thing I want is a locked Leica shutter release button, and that was happening, now and then, messing up the advantage of having AE on demand. No problems whatsoever shooting with my unadorned MPs. KISS, as Ted would say. Emanuel
