msr on rd1?

[back alley]

i know i asked about this before but i was hoping that tom would weigh in on this as well...

i have used a mini soft release on pretty much every camera that would take one. when i started to use the rd1 i automatically put one on it but it felt 'off', not quite right.
this was a first as i believe that they do work to make shutter actuation an easier process.

tom, have you heard anything like this before?

Not having tried the MSR on any other camera, I'm not sure how its "supposed" to feel. I do however agree that anticipating the pressure/actuation point for the shutter is easier without it.

The RD1 release seems to be a bit "higher" than the regular Bessa's and the mini-softie sticks up a bit more. When I was testing the RD1 for Epson I did use one on it - and after a while it felt natural - but the "trigger" point is different on the RD1 so I can see why it would feel a bit bulkier.

When I had an R-D1, I enjoyed using the MSR. Only camera I had a problem was with the M7 because of the triple actuation of the shutter button. 1. metering 2. exposure lock 3. take the exposure. But the MSR is on all my other rigs.

Just wanted to share my experience. I tried a MSR on my RD1 back in 2006 and found that my shutter button unscrewed and kept locking up on me. I now keep the TSR on my M6. Make sure your shutter button assembly doesn't uncouple as mine did.

I don't feel the need for a soft release on the R-D1, but like them on my M2 and M7. I can't put my finger on why, though.
