Kepler made an interesting point in this months SLR column in Pop Photo.
He was discussing the features which are disappearing from current SLR's;
the good and the bad of this. On this subject, he comments that on first
blush it would appear worthwhile to keep the old screw in remote release in
the shutter button. However, on closer observation he notes that this
precludes a wireless or cordless release which he deems worth giving up the
old style for. I agree.
Cheers, Mike.
