Well, if there are, I haven't found 'em. The ones for the LX and MX don't fit the ME Super and some of the other Pentax bodies I've tried them on very well (I believe the Program bodies I tried had the problem, too), and the ones I use for the Leica, which fit the ME Super, don't fit the LX and

Shel, I bought my $3 wide release cap at a local camera store in a bubble pack. It was right there with other odds and ends. I didn't realize the LX/MX shutter release was that different. Paul Franklin Stregevsky - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to

I have two hard-to-find soft release buttons for the LX and MX cameras. They are $25.00 each plus postage - which will be cheap as the release buttons are small and light. Details here: http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/cameras/softie.html -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, one of the things I like about the Leica M bodies is that the top of the camera is flush all the way across, except that the shutter release sticks up by about 1mm within the cup-shaped guard. This is not only nice aesthetically, it also has the great practical benefit of being almost
