I can only shoot one shot with this set up before the camera refuses to do anything more. I *can *get consecutive shots if I set the camera for continuous shooting, but the problem here is that a) I don't get instant reviews of the shots on the back screen of the camera and b) the camera only writes the files to card after I remove the electronic release jack plug from its socket. Has anyone else used one of these lenses on a Canon DSLR? Am I doing something totally wrong? (apart from the fact that I'm using a Canon;-) - the set up does work perfectly with Leica SLRs). Any other ideas apart from using a Canon remote release taped to the handgrip? Does anyone know which Canon cable release adapter(s) I need for a) a Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) or b) a Canon 20D to connect them to a conventional, non-electronic, cable release? Would very much appreciate any ideas/solutions/experience on this. Douglas
