Hi Jerry,
I didn't say it didn't "work", I only questioned the claim that this
specific function was the intention of mirroring the cap. Again, how many
people take pictures of just themselves and need such a device? I actually
take quite a few pictures of my self, and don't use any such "aids".
Regards,
Austin
