Well, I did say they were crap photos.Actually, I was bracketing but the sun here is blinding and was right behind me and very low so I could see nothing on the screen until I got inside and hid in a cupboard. By the time I got out of the cupboard it was dark ("the dog ate my homework")As for mirror lockup, I have just read an interesting article on that which suggests balancing a glass of water on top of the camera to see mirror shake in action. I will experiment further with mirror lockup once the camera dries out.Actually, I am not using an eyepiece on the TV85, see:<a href="http://www.thingysoft.com/myblog/2008_week030.asp#7" target="_blank">http://www.thingysoft.com/myblog/2008_week030.asp#7</a>You can see the scene on the screen on the EOS1000D (try pressing SET - the man in the shop said you could not but you can!)</blockquote>
