The viewfinder is IMHO about the same as using a rifle scope. Wacky roger Questions & Comments Welcome

This also makes it easy to carry in the woods. It also works well on horseback. A closer look. Wacky roger Questions & Comments Welcome

BTW...I'm just curious...with the eagle flying over and the big tip right in front of you...what is it that you found more interesting to be shooting in that photo? Great shots of the bighorn sheep.

I bought the trigger cable from BushHawk for my camera. The photo is a flyer I made up for my camera hunting company, using 5 different photos. After I built it I decided not to use it.

Since I already had the remote release and only had to buy the plug & socket, it cost me less than $7.00 to make. I now have an "extenstion cord" for my remote release, a cable for my Bushhawk and the original Nikon remote release. David Ramey Photography
