Match Technical OPERA-O Overview

The red Opera-O Soft Shutter Release Button from Match Technical gives you the ability to find a recessed shutter button on the camera while not looking away from the viewfinder. Camera shake is also minimized, which enables you to take a picture at slower shutter speeds without the worry of camera blur.

The button's long stem is compatible with Fujifilm's X-series cameras, traditional cameras, and Leica's M10 and older cameras. Because of the long stem, it clears the collar that surrounds the shutter button on the camera body. Therefore, the release button's convex profile raises the height of the camera's shutter button making it easy-to-find.

Once the Soft Shutter Release Button is screwed in, the button's CNC machined brass threads, which are not easily broken off, does not bind to the shutter button. An O-ring under the enamel head of the button keeps the button completely secure to the camera when it is tightened down. In addition, the enamel button has been painted with a red menacing face theme in a high-quality gloss paint.

Leica: M10 and older cameras

Match Technical OPERA-O Reviews

Not great on my M6

Maybe they soften the release but 1. it's hard to screw them in securely and 2. Once you do they catch on clothing, threads, hair, all kinds of annoying real life situations you wouldn't expect them to. Went back to a clean factory shutter and really don't see a practical difference.

A wonder little improvement

I have a Fujifilm x100v and this little soft shutter release button is strictly to operate the camera. It screws into the shutter release button gives more control in releasing the shutter. That's probably a good enough reason to get this small device. But it does more than that. It give a large measure of joy when I pick up the camera a look at it. It's very well made and the colored picture on the button is just charming. I've had these with other decorations with cameras and enjoyed them very much. They work well and you if you do want to use a cabled remote shutter release you simply unscrew this black button and use the cable. I don't take those kinds of shots so I've never tried it. Just know that Match Technical does a great job with these slow release buttons. They are fun and functional. What's better than that.
