Yuck. Sorry to hear it.You freaking jinxed me! Guess what happened to me tonight. Took the camera out of my bag. No shutter button. Actually the aluminium is just a shell, there is still a button underneath. The shell snapped back on easily enough and doesn't pull off easily. If it happens again I'll have it glued on permanently by my local shop.
Do they fit onto an A7/r?
Those appear to be standard screw-in soft releases. They won't work with the A7, since it doesn't have a threaded release button. That's what's different about the Lolumina kit; it's designed for non-threaded release buttons.These are the best for the best price
I have long fingers, and pushing the shutter button on my A7 or Leica M with the pad of my finger is very contorted. By using a soft release I can place the tip of my finger on the mode dial, and the first knuckle is lightly touching the soft release. To take a shot, the knuckle softly depresses the now elevated shutter button.I know people seem to love these soft releases, but I just don't get on with them. To me, they assist me in jiggling the camera more—I've tried them on several occasions, just didn't work.
I use the finger guard around a shutter release to rest my finger on and gently roll my finger onto the release button ... zero shake that way. Somehow holding my finger above the release and trying to push straight down, no matter what kind of soft release is there, makes me move the camera a lot more.
Not trying to start a controversy, I am just very curious as to why others find these things so desirable.
