I guess using a cable isn't an option since it screws into the shutter release.

I may well wind up doing that, or just use a pen or small screw driver
to press the shutter mechanism inside the 6x7 body. The guy at the local
repair shop was not sanguine about finding the part he would need to fix
the shutter button but was going to look for it. If he can find it, the

Film equipment is so inexpensive these days, even rather rare stuff that
you might be better off buying a new body and keeping the one with the
broken shutter button for parts.

The older 55f3.5 is softer (especially at corners) but
corrected better, has an almost impossible to find 100mm
filter size.
The older 55f4.0 is sharper, but not as sharp as the latest
version, the newer one
I had a 55/4, I believe the early version. It was an outstanding lens in
every way. I used it for b&w as well as color neg prints in large sizes. I
bought it used for $600 in 1990, sold it for the same five years later. I
imagine they are a bargain now.
Bill Lawlor
That's pretty much how it stacks up. Although I wouldn't say the newest
version has more plastic parts. It's a very high quality lens. And with
today's prices, it's probably worth looking for. I wouldn't go with the
early 3.5 version given today's buyer's market.

How does the film advance feel without film? You need to set the camera

Hi Mark,
The best way to meter a sunset shot into the sun is with a spot meter.
Pick an area in the sky that you want to be approximately the same
value as 18% gray (such as a medium orange or red) and take your
reading there.

Brother Chris,
Did you discover this from the viewfinder or from finished shots? Did
you notice that there was a difference when wide open vs. stopped

Hi Chris,
I just can tell you that with my 55/4 I use a regular polarizer
