Hi, some updates on the release, I enclose an excerpt from an email from meven to me recently:
" I had a very long discussion with Philip regarding the soft releases. I showed him the samples from Tim Isaac and he wasn't impressed to say the least. He said that on the long run they will damage the shutter release on the camera, in fact he has already seen the damages cause by the soft releases. I have asked him to contact his manufacturer locally to see if he can make samples but we will have to pay for the samples.
He proposes to make them out of aluminium alloy that can be tainted in several colours instead of being painted, he also proposes to engrave the logo. In the long run it will make the soft releases more durable. The paint on the one by TI is not going to last very long.
Obviously, the ones from Mr Tay will be more expensive but we can decide how many we need instead of having a minimum order of 200."
I will be seeing Mr. Tay as soon as I get back to singapore, so this project is still moving...
soft releases can damage the camera's shutter release? thanks for sharing this info.
