Alternatively, how about the old fashioned method?? Put the lens cap on before closing off the shutter! The "Tower's" seem to come up fairly frequently on ebay, although they do appear to command a premium over IIIC's. Would rather have the original myself!

Turning the slow dial seems to me a recipe for camera shake.
