I will now admit to be a fan of using a self time on my FE2 because it slaps the mirror up at the very beginning and results in a better picture than the cable release. I'm sure once or twice I've left the cable release at home and the self timer saved my but. I'm not at all a fan of touching the camera during release on a tripod but that's my style of shooting.
