Overview

The Leica 19671 Aluminum Soft Release Button is a simple, purpose-built accessory designed to enhance the ergonomics of shooting with a Leica Q3 or M-Series camera. Machined from aluminum, it threads directly into the shutter release button's socket, providing a wider and more tactile surface for your index finger. The result is a more deliberate, controlled shutter press — particularly useful during slow, considered shooting where stability matters.

As a genuine Leica accessory, the button is engineered to sit flush and match the finish of compatible camera bodies. Installation takes seconds — simply screw it into the threaded shutter button — and removal is equally straightforward. While it is a minimal addition in terms of functionality, photographers who spend long sessions with their Leica often find that this small ergonomic improvement reduces finger fatigue and adds a personal touch to their kit.
