Made in France,
Derived from the Japanese word meaning 'small circle', KOMARU was designed by French photographer and creator Patrick Borie-Duclaud and is manufactured with precision machining and partial handwork in an aerospace machinery factory in Toulouse, France. With its ergonomic design that takes into account every detail, solid construction, strict material selection and aesthetic lines, it has long been loved by photographers around the world.
Soft release button for precise shooting,
The Komaru soft release button offers an innovative design that enhances precision and stability when shooting. While conventional soft release buttons have either a concave or convex shape, the Komaru is the first to adopt a dual contour. The outside is convex and the center is concave, and this design is inspired by the keys of a flute. The two shapes combine to better fit the fingers and naturally help to accurately transmit the force required when shooting. Remember that the purpose of a soft release is to enhance precision and stability when releasing, and sometimes to gain two or more aperture stops.
Excellent durability and stylish design,
Komaru Soft Button Titanium is made of TA6V titanium, boasting excellent durability and sturdiness. Its unique strength ensures that the screws are securely fixed without worrying about them slipping out or loosening. The screw thread is compatible with all camera bodies including Leica, and is suitable for both new and old models. The loosening phenomenon due to vibration during shooting is minimized, so the soft release button will not fall off.
Perfect harmony with the skin,
Titanium is a hypoallergenic material that can be used with confidence even by people with sensitive skin. Pure titanium, which is even used for medical purposes, is comfortable to wear and is not affected by sweat, so it always maintains a clean and smooth surface. Komaru is a special product that goes beyond mere functionality and adds to the joy of shooting.
The pinnacle of French precision and handcraft,
Komaru's soft release buttons are individually machined and partially handcrafted in a workshop in the Arve Valley, France, a world leader in precision metal cutting, particularly in cutting-edge technology. Through precise machining and meticulous handwork, each button offers both unique beauty and functionality. Each Komaru is created by hand, not just as a simple camera accessory, but as a combination of art and technology, providing a luxurious shooting experience.
With its refined thread and wide compatibility,
The innovative dual contour of the Komaru soft release has already won the hearts of hundreds of photographers. Convex on the outside and concave in the center, it is easy for the finger to find the center naturally and provides increased stability when releasing, even in a hurry. The short conical thread of the Komaru soft release is precisely machined and is compatible with all bodies, old and new, such as the latest Leica models. It is also compatible with most cameras with a thread.
Komaru is derived from the Japanese word meaning **'small circle'** and is not just a camera accessory, but a work of art that combines artistic sense and precise technology. With the soft release button that enhances the perfection of your shots, you can capture more perfect moments with Komaru.
Note: The camera is used as an example only and is not included with this product.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
1. About Duty & Tax - Especially for US customer
Basically all duties and taxes are imposed by the importing country on the importer, and are the responsibility of the importer, not the producer.
We've recently received a significant number of inquiries from consumers in the United States regarding duties and taxes. This is due to the US government's decision to eliminate the de minimis exemption and establish additional duties. Details are below.
Starting August 29, 2025, the de minimis exemption for all international shipments to the US will be discontinued, and all imports valued at $800 or less will now be subject to duties and taxes. The rates vary by item, and additional duties may apply in addition to the base rate.
While all countries are the same, for US citizens, duties and taxes are imposed by the US government on US citizens, and are imposed on the importer and user, not the producer. Please keep this in mind.
