Thanks for the comments guys. I will stick with my dealer for the MC30 as I got a good deal with the X.
Stephen, this is the Mk1 version and is a tidy up of my cobbled together job used for a moon shot. The front control wheel is not in use as it is for Macro shots with my AIS manual lens.
MK2 is under way and will use a standard cable release to trigger the lower shutter button.
Why am I doing it ...... its a challenge.
