Convenient viewfinder shutter
« on: April 13, 2016, 00:04:54 »
Having the DK-19 rubber eye cup installed it has been occasions where I've had to use my hand to prevent light leaking in via the ocular during long expoures. But tonight, and by accident I'd say, I discovered that a lens rear cap fits "perfect" over the DK-19.

The latter honorary title should be preferred. There can only be the one and only 'Dr. Lens' !!

For the 'Certified NG Nerd' award, we have additional candidates as well.
