So the X100 presents a conundrum of sorts for the GAS infected owner who, because the camera is such a self-contained little gem, has nothing to buy for it. In my case, I already had the perfect case for it, I have less than no desire for a flash, and don't want the lens hood complicating my life. So WHAT was I gonna buy (besides spare batteries, which are essential but too boring to talk about in polite company).
So, I figured for two and a half bucks, how far wrong could I go with this little soft-release? Its not like its critically necessary, but it turns out it makes shooting quickly just that little bit easier than it already was. Most modern cameras have a large enough shutter button that it doesn't matter and they couldn't use one anyway, but the X100 button is nestled down in there a bit. But nestled down in there NO MORE! If I'd never bought it, I'd never have missed it. But I'm glad I bought it. You could spend $25 or more more soft releases, they make 'em with ladybugs painted on 'em (who knew?). But for for pocket change, you can have the same function and none of the silly looks.
So, for the X100 owner who feels the need to buy SOMEthing for their camera...
