Hi Shel,
SHUTTER BUTTON ATTACHMENT LX, Pentax part #30951

I appreciate the added control the soft release provides however the original
LX release I find excellent, the later release with the stupid shroud I can
appreciate it would benefit. I would like to use the soft release on my Leicas
however as there is no way to lock the release and since I often carry them
around sans case or bag I would imagine that I would waste many shots
since the camera must be wound on to meter TTL.
Cheers,
