I had two cables they both do the same thing

You raise an interesting possibility. When I got the camera the cable release port didn't work at all with my cable. So someone suggested I get a long throw cable, so I did and that triggers the shutter (but blank frames) but maybe someone broke it before I owned it with a long throw cable.

I've tried two, yeah

I can't figure this one out. I have an original model ETR that in all other ways seems to work perfectly fine -- except for when I use a release cable. When I use the release cable it sounds like its firing, and I'm able to advance the film, but I get back blank frames. Am I stuck in bulb...

150mm with 2X TC and Ektar 100. Two frames focus stacked

Yes, I am enjoying it quite a bit. I will follow in a few weeks with my shots from Death Valley. Thanks again

Got my test roll back for the 150 + 2X PE shot on XP2 (handheld). Not bad! Thanks for the help everyone

I'll be shooting in Death Valley so hopefully not too many clouds!

Yup on the 150 f3.5 The matte is useless but the split prism is fine. So I will do a test roll next and see what the image quality is like but I may have found a nice compromise here!

I got a deal on a PE 2X TC and I'm happy to report the split prism is not blacked out.

Well I haven't pushed anything yet, I'm asking first before I waste my time and money.

This is good info, I appreciate that. What speed do you normally shoot it at?

Yup that's the idea behind doing research before I waste money.

Going to experiment with some Rollei Infrared for the first time. Using an IR filter so that's going to be some very slow shutter speeds. Just wondering if its worth pushing or if that's a bad idea for this film Thanks!

I got to handle the 100-220 at BH Photo! It's a chunker but its not toooo bad for operating mostly out of my car...
