Stupid things Camera Companies leave out...

[2bits]

My F2 Photomic and Mamiya 645 1000s both have self timers and shutter locks, as do a few other of my cameras, Me Super, Spotmatic F, Ricoh XR2. Just to name a few. The Mamiya has not one but two flash sync sockets.

I wish my Spotmatics had shutter locks. When I'm out shooting the shutter is always cocked. I don't know which photo will be my last. Then I throw it in my backpack or something and often the shutter gets tripped.

My FM2N has all the features I need, including shutter lock, albeit via the shutter lever rather than a separate lock.

A filter that automatically corrects the exposure and improves the composition as the shutter is fired. <<Grin>>

The holder for the end of the film box so you know what film is loaded in the camera. Especially useful if you have more than one camera loaded with different films.

It goes right behind the eyepiece.

I like the shutter lock a lot, sometimes I wind, put viewfinder to eye, think "ehh, doesn't look that great" and stick the camera back in my bag. I hate accidentally exposing frames, especially on rare (to me) films, like my last roll of E100VS

There's a loose nut in the way on mine.

I use heavy duty packing tape to fix the box end to the back of the camera. I have done this to several bodies where there is a window in the film door, it's just easier to read.

Then you of all people can do it the KR way:
