Be happy to, Manu. Just send me your SWC so I can show you...

What are you talking about Jim? The left index works perfectly on the SWC.
See, you hold the camera with your left hand just like this, and the right hand
goes here, and then... well lemme see... the left pinky goes...
Ok, how about this: Bob, why don't you do it and have someone take a snapshot
so we all can see how it goes.
Yes, get the one with the holder - it doesn't make a difference when holding
the camera. I have Lindhals on my backs, and it's great. In addition to being
less likely to loose the dark slides (I still manage to), it's better than
putting it them in your back pocket and sitting on it. I have quite a few bent
dark slides which I suspect doesn't help with light leaks.

The SWC shutter release is on the top so the left index finger won't
work... but... buy the new back. The dark slide holder is well worth
20 Euros! I have one back that came without a darkslide holder. I
bought a Lee (I think it's Lee) dark slide holder and put it on the
back. The dark slide holder is worth its weight in, well, a lot of
lost dark slides. Lose a dark slide and it will be exactly when you
want to remove the back from the camera.
MHO,
Jim
