Can I get a suitable bushing from my local hardware store? - - Likewise, can I get a cable release? I see no way to attach one. - - When using the "T" shutter speed setting (so far for loading film only) - how am I supposed to close the shutter? Winding the camera seems to do it, but that's kind of crude... - - I'm told there's a way to synchronize an electronic flash with an adapter which fits onto the shutter-speed dial. What's this called, and does it really work? (albeit at 1/20 or 1/30 sec?) - - Can I use a Zeiss-based universal finder on the IIIc? I realize the true Zeiss finder (which I have, sigh) will cover my shutter speed dial, but I have the opportunity to trade it for a better-condition Russian version which would seem to work, unless there's some parallax or alignment or shoe problem I'm not considering. Thanks for the help. Regards, Tim Meneely Pittsburgh PA USA
