I am not very certain, but it could be the mirror assembly triggering arm of the self-timer was out of alignment somehow. The same arm is responsible for the "cheated" MLU with the MX. You may visit Rob's site to see what it looks like. I don't have the MX anymore so I cannot how you. ===== Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
