For many years I consistently used cable releases with macro & long
telephoto lenses. Recently, however, I noticed that on the e-sif site and
on many Oly web pages, it has been suggested that there is basically NO
ideal time to use a cable release. Most often it is suggested to use "the
ball of your finger while holding the camera steady".
So my question then is when, exactly, is one SUPPOSED to use a cable
release? Maitani obviously thought the need would arise, or the OM line
would never have been designed to accomodate one.
Or is this all just a matter of personal preference? I notice that in my
old, original, OM-1 manual from 1972 they recommend a cable-release for the
long telephotos. Has conventional thinking changed since then?
I'm perplexed... ;)
