I would avoid any of the plated parts such as the Rhodium contacts in the ultrasonic. IT can take the plating off in a few uses.

Ok i will definitely stop putting my pins in there then, thanks for the tip

Since im here, question

I use a flat button with the brass non locking pusher (very nice btw), and was wondering how everyone with this setup was activating it ? Because the only way i can fire it 100% is by using the tip of my little finger...

Im used to using the middle part of my little finger but the opening is too small. Do i just have too fatty fingers or is this how its supposed to be used ?

Do you have any washers under the negative pin? With the flat bottom cap I found I needed a washer to make the throw better.

I agree, with the flat button it is a deep push. One or even 2 washers make things better.

I had just one washer on mine and still cursed it. Today I put on another one and it's amazing! It has an infinitesimal throw, but still sits without firing. But I think if I sat it on a grain of salt it might.

Nice.......My Dad is a big Nikon man, I recognized it. I know he still has many of his Nikon film cameras, This is my favorite for its looks. I love rangefinders. I have a nice Canon also.

Ah, Nikon rangefinders are awesome, but I prefer them with a less uhm, erect lens than that

RF's are great with a normal-to-wide lens for everyday stuff. Looks more like a regular compact and people doesn't pay as much attention to you.

I agree about the "long lens" but as a lover of beautiful stainless steel, it its nice to look at. I did get some great shots of the moon one night with it.
