I mean REALLY difficult. As far as i know, any camera shows that might be happening here must be either attended to after dark, or by invitation only. Being the social pariah that i am, my invite must have got lost in the mail. I had to get the ITDOO from out of town, and the Schneider cap fits over the front of the hood when it's mounted for shooting. I never knew about the 14033, but if i ever see a 14033, you can bet i'll grab it!
