  1. Stephen:

     

    A sticking shutter release, whether in a Kodak Brownie or a Leica MP 3, is indicative of a

    problem with the shutter release mechanics of the associated camera. I posted this

    inquiry not because I am a "fondler" but rather because I value and rely on my equipment

    and in that am most concerned when a mojor component appears to be malfunctioning.

    The fact that the MP 3 was designed to exhibit a "butterry" release is of signficance if only

    as a benchmark for comparison of operational characteristics. Clearly, we are talking

    about a camera shutter release and not the trim switch on a Boeing 757 however in either

    case a potential malfunction, which is easily indentifiable and correctable, deserves

    consideration.

  2. Bill: Without the Soft Relese, the shutter button performs without any apparent problem.

    I gather from your description that the button on your MP was stickiing without the Soft

    release fitted. When you sent the MP in for Viewfinder repair, did you mention the

    shutter button problem or did they attend to it without your mentioning it? Clearly, as it

    stands, the problem is evident only with the soft release fitted and Leica will most likely

    balk at at "repair" that can be demonstrated only with a non leica aftermarket appliance

    installed.
