There are pins inside (and release mounting "thread"), having them exposed to whatever surrounding conditions are doesn't sound very reassuring for me. There is the potential to damage the pins but the repair will be almost the price of used body itself. Perhaps I would just use an insulation tape or something like that to protect the sockets once not in use... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Hi Alex,
I understand your concern, but the pins do not bend unless you actually stick something other than the remote cord in that socket. They are recessed enough not to worry. So just enjoy taking some photographs and save your money for the cap. If you are shooting in extremely dusty areas, you will need to worry more about other parts of the camera and not the socket. :-) Peter K * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
