Vistek ships.. but I dunno how much that costs. Forgot there for a moment you lived in North Bay.

Doesn't the D50 allow up to a 30 second exposure in manual? that's plenty long enough for most long exposure shots. I bought a $10 cable release for my camera, but I guess newer ones can't use such old tech. I just push down on the cable release and twist a little ring, then time the shot myself. Works great.

What I did before I got the cable release, was set the timer for 2 seconds. So when I hit the shutter, the camera could shake a bit, and then 2 seconds later take a picture. It removed a lot of shake from the long exposure pictures, and was a cheap way of going about things.
