Nice, have a safe trip! Are you happy with the fomapan's?

I decided to try a couple of bricks just because it's cheap. It scratches way too easy but other than that it's sort of OK. I'd rather have a brick of HP5+ or Tri-X though...

But that says M8 on it. Is it a prototype like Mr Chris Weeks' ?

What kind of soft release is that ?? Looks very good on the M6 !

The Nokton is a really nice recent addition to my M6. It feels and handles very well.

It looks like the A&A soft release.

Thanks !!
I've never seen one on a camera, only what they look like on their own. From the pictures, I thought they'd be bigger...
Kind of expensive for such a small piece of metal:

$50?? Are they joking? Tom Abrahamsson's soft releases are half that and look nicer. Plus, you can support Tom by buying one. No way would I pay $50 for ANY soft release, especially when $25 gets you one from someone we know and want to support.

They may or may not allow you to shoot steadier but they are quite good at getting your camera stuck on things like threads, weeds, clothing... until they fall off.

I just got one of these. A while later I got another for my R-D1. They're great. Anything more than a tenner for one of these is mental.

In general, I think A&A products are worth the price. I have an A&A case and strap and while simple in design, the craftsmanship and functionality is great. However, I do think their soft release is a rip off (what's funny is that it isn't even listed on the official site and only that one store seems to carry them).
I have a ladybug soft release, not so much for its functionality, but because it looks nice and is a good conversation piece!

I'm more of a fan of the match technical soft releases... but I'm with frank, I'm not sure they actually do any good. I have fat fingers, so I like them... but as far as getting me to handhold at slower shutter speeds, I haven't seen it.
