I thought I would share my solution to the MX lever problem that can damage things. As you may know, the self timer does not play nice with the camera in M flash sync.

Solution:

I think its a 14-16 sized ribbed wall anchor.

Cut a short piece off.

Jam in camera, removable, but very solid.

Simple solution! I always thought the rubber band looped around the flash sync lever and the lever at the bottom of the lens was factory equipment.

Effective yes, but those of us that still use flashbulbs hate that. It makes the camera non-purchasable for us.
