VKO Orange Metal Soft Shutter Release Button,Delicate Camera Shutter Button 11mm Concave 10mm Convex Surface(2 Pack)

For those of you curious (like I was), this is a beautiful dark red and happens to match VERY closely to Peak Design’s red anchors.Threaded on perfectly and the gasket provided is great. Pictured is the concave version. Each version comes with 2 gaskets so you have plenty of back ups.

These release buttons--listed on Amazon as "(2 Pack) Dark Red Soft Metal Shutter Release Button Brass for Fujifilm Fuji ... Camera 11mm Concave 10mm Convex Surface" and sold by VKO Photography--are the most secure release buttons I've come across yet. Whether you use the concave or convex button, they make it much easier to find the shutter release by feel (without having to remove your eye from the viewfinder or fumble around as much by touch to locate the button).Since they come equipped with little rubber O-rings, these buttons also stay in place far better than any of the other brands I've tried over the years (Neewer, etc.). That's important because most of these screw-in style shutter release buttons are notorious for gradually working their way loose and getting lost. That is why I also recommend that you don't spend much on any such button. Fortunately, at $8, this two-pack is also one of the most affordable options on Amazon ($4 per button), and it gives you the opportunity to decide if the convex or concave button feels or looks better on your particular camera.While I really can't say for sure if they are actually brass as advertised, they do seem plenty durable for their purpose and the glossy painted surface seems to have held up well with no sign of fading or chipping after thousands of shots. The coating isn't as perfectly smooth as some of the slightly more expensive and slightly more nicely machined releases, but they do look nice and right at home on top of my Fuji X-T2 camera. (The concave button looks better with the overall aesthetic of the camera than the convex button does, for some reason. So that's the one I currently use.) Since other brands of buttons did eventually fall off my camera, I've developed a habit of routinely checking the button for tightness. Thus far, I've never found the button to have loosened at all. It seems to stay put nicely, which I attribute to the effectiveness of the O-ring providing additional "friction" to hold the button securely and prevent it from gradually turning and loosening. Based on this experience, I would definitely buy these again if I had need of more. They are more affordable, equally functional, and more secure than similar products I've tried which cost twice as much.[UPDATE 6-29-2017: After extensive use, this shutter release button has never once loosened on my Fuji X-T2 camera. I am genuinely impressed at how well the O-ring and/or design of the threads has managed to keep it in place, as I've used several other brands and never been able to go this long without it becoming loose and, usually, getting lost entirely. I have even stopped checking the tightness obsessively, as after hundreds of checks and a LOT of usage, it just stays in place snugly like it should, no blue locktite or other "hack" required. Hooray! I definitely recommend these as not only the cheapest, but now, the most secure shutter release buttons I've ever tried!]

I went 5 stars because of the (2) rubber washers that Come with each button. (Clearly seen below 2 w/ 2nd button and 1 from 1st I didn't quite need.).There's not very much to a shutter button, but really there is. I'm using the concave one on an X-10, and for me it's essential. I've lost 3 previous manuf's , either from horribly weak threading or idk what. I finally discovered using a TINY TINY bit of 'thread locker', ( which I use on most parts I intend to keep where I attach them ), but please..... use a toothpick really , ..... or it will be on for a LONGLONGtime.Even a 20 yr veteran has his folies. Now for the use of this button for function, not just looks. I actually normally shoot a D4, D4s or Hassie, so it's hard for me to judge, a 1/2 depression on the shutter, as I am used to BBFocus. This makes that process 1000x easier, but also actually for me, "feelable". Granted I think 90% are bought for looks along with a few other items, but it won't even look good if it falls off!These are RED, LEICA RED, RICH FIRE TRUCK RED, not metallic red, but RED. Simple, well machined, certainly a huge size upGrade from the OEM,( speaking of which, FujiFilm S1,2,3,4 up {The nikon mount DSLR by Fuji}, actually have a similar button, jsyk). Any SLR OR rangefinder film camera , even a Hasselblad 500. So enjoy just dot it with thread locker, don't use pliers for 100 reasons, but even with a cloth, you'll scratch the coating. Good luck!

They're cheap, so I'm grading on a curve a little, but if you're looking for a no-nonsense soft release that you won't mind losing when it inevitably falls off your camera, these are not a bad option at all. The color's nice, the packaging is good (nice small box you can stuff in your camera bag if you like), they're comfortable, and the two releases even come individually bagged with extra o-rings!Now, about that "they're cheap" thing... it shows a little. Nobody else will ever notice, but the finish isn't quite even, the underside is definitely an afterthought, and the threads are a little wonky since the enamel becomes really spotty at the threads.The worse of my two was the convex button, which I lost in Long Bien Market in Hanoi, so I can't post pictures (or try exchanging the releases), but set your expectations accordingly and I doubt you'll be disappointed. They're good enough that my first thought upon losing mine was "shoot, guess I'll have to order another set when I get home." If nothing else, I applaud VKO for their wide, wide variety of colors; everyone else is doing red and black and ridiculous bird inlays, while VKO's got fun enamel colors like orange and yellow and gold and green, and a whole range of stained woods.

The media could not be loaded. After using it on a shoot the build quality is great and I’m really enjoying the concave release.

Kept falling off and lost both. Not easy to fix it atop the click button and too small to move it around when fixing it.
