After hours of research I finally decided on an emitter, but now I can’t decide on a flat vs raised switch retaining ring. Would anyone be so kind as to post multiple angle pics of both the raised and flat versions?
I’m coming from a ZL SC700d that has it’s switch recessed into the body, which I love. I’m afraid that a raised ring on the D4V2 would bother me not only in it’s looks, but perhaps as an obstruction. Any advice?
Hard to give advice here. The raised ring is quite smooth and only moderately obstrusive. It helps against unintentional activation, e.g. in a pocket, but in my eyes unintentional activation was never a big issue in any D4 model. Additionally it defends against rolling on flat surfaces (tables).
I have a D4, a D4V2 and a D4Ti with the traditional ring, and a D4V2Ti with a raised ring. It’s a close call. Perhaps the next would be with the traditional ring again, but it’s really very close, and the raised ring may give you some benefits.
