Hi,

And, for those that might have missed my attempt years back, one can't fit an F4 shutter button to these no matter how much it might look like you can!

The housings crack at that sharp curve there by the button, so the retention of the button/switch assembly is reduced, and the fool thing likes to pop out fairly easily thereafter.

All one can do these days is find a dead E-series with the button/switch assembly intact and then swipe the part. It pops out with the aid of a flat blade jewler's screwdriver.

later!
