I have, Oliver...I just try to flip it over my wrist, or ignore it...the
main thing is to make sure it doesn't hang on the lens shade..;-)

hi B. D. Colen,

Have you ever have problem with the SC17 wire hanging infront of your
viewfinder/ lens while taking picture with SC17 cord ?  i found this bother
me alot.  i wish that SC 17 cord would be a right angle parallel to body
instead of point toward lens when it come out of hotshoe.  any suggestion on
how to get rid of this problem with different cord?
Olivier
