Do you hope that a self timer produces less vibration than a cable release? I fool around a lot with M equipment on various Leitz microscopes and find that good photomicrography can be had using any of the various adapters Leitz made for that purpose. They have their own built in leaf shutter which is shock mounted and their own 45 degree optical viewer so you make the exposure at the desired instant without vibration, not using the camera viewer or shutter whatsoever for the exposure. Be glad to send you info if you don't have it from old catalogs and manuals. Even have some gear to spare! regards, Harry
