The self-timer thing helps, but I'd like one that works without the 10
second delay.
I like shooting in low light, so minimising the shakes is important,
especially when hand-holding. Using the 6x7 I was able to get a
reasonably sharp image at 1/8 s by prefiring the mirror & aperture about
1/8-1/4s before releasing the shutter, when the vibration from the clunk
had died away. I'd like to be able to do that with an OM.
