Actually, I have wanted to dig out that brochure, but it is packed in one of the crates I took home in my 'camper' (rooftop-tent-loaded Land Cruiser....:)), and haven't unpacked yet because of being groggy from a combined Chinese/Taiwanese/Japanese/Korean flu....:)) (them crates are *heavy*....:)) (one bag of brochures pro day....:)))) > Can you think of a way to get the Timer Remote TR80N3 or Remote Capture > to do multibracketing? Not combined with existing remote controls, but very well on its own with the multi-timer I once created myself (12 independent time settings (start+stop, hence 1 exposure each) back then, 20 with the current timer module....and 2-channel, allowing flash pre-load 1 minute earlier (1 minute is smallest time increment, so it won't work for shorter exposures either (say starting a bracket at 1s)). The only ergonomic downside is that the timer works the usual way, with clock times, so you must set all the different brackets first, starting from 00:01, and then set the main clock back to 00:00 for each bracket sequence. But given the fact that the full 12-sequence takes you into daylight the next afternoon, that's not bad for an otherwise sleepless night....:)) > P.S.

I am no astro-expert, sorry....;)) Just bulb-bracketing for the ordinary streetlife/night-scenery....:)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
