[pinhole-discussion] Zero 2000 camera problem

2001-07-16 Thread JOEBESSE
Could anyone tell me how to stop getting the lens cover in the image. Even 
using short exposures of 1 or 2 seconds with Verichrome 125 film I get about 
half of the 12 images on a roll with part of the lens cover in the photo. 
Wondering if people who have the cable release installed have the same 
problem. Help!

Thanks for help on this.

I have the cable release and this has not been a problem for me.

Here is a Zero2000 image I took last summer.  No problem
with shutter, as the shutter was basically my thumb (!)

(pardon the long URL...)

I think I took this in Cartersville, GA. on one of my rambles,
but I can't remember...

Is it possible for you people to post an example of an image exhibiting the 
mentioned problem?
