Good advice! In order to eliminate the "shake" problem, I use a "soft release" on the release (taking) button ... it seems to work VERY well! Sandy F. Ö¿Ö¬ ____________________________________________________ You will probably find that a short cable release will actually wind up more of a PIA instead. A better solution would be to use the cocking lever as nature intended. With some practice you will discover it is quite easy to isolate the motion for a steady shutter release. This works even better if you limit your intake of coffee before commiting photography.
