    I snug a tiny O ring under the lever pin.
    No accidental unlocking of the lans anymore.

    Do you ever accidentally hit the lens release on your M2? Absolutely! I once swapped lenses on a dusty street and thought I’d secured it, only to find my precious Summicron almost kissing the pavement a few blocks later. Now I’m terrified! Does anyone have experience with lens release button guards? I’m thinking of getting one. It’s almost as stressful as building the perfect sundae in Papa’s Freezeria.

    Nice little fix! Simple solutions like adding a tiny O-ring can make a big difference in preventing accidental lens release on the Leica M2. I love clever tricks like this—Wacky Flip gives me a similar vibe where small adjustments can completely change the outcome.
