Actually, I used a piece of large cardboard held in front of the lens. Open the shutter (and lock it if you have a locking shutter release), take away the cardboard and time the exposure, put the cardboard back and close the shutter. At high magnifications you will probably find that you need to use this method as even with the mirror locked up the shutter will cause vibrations that will be visible on the film. (at least it did with a Nikon F3, R7, and viso on an M) Have a great weekend. Dick
