Re: new to the list; Mamiya 7II lenscap

OHHHH--my gosh I can't believe I am so STUPID. Yes, I knew the shutter was
in the lens! But I guess what you are saying is that when (gulp) I release
the curtain (inside the camera dark curtain or "shutter" )(you have shut
curtain when removing a lens and then open it once the lens is on) once my
lens cap is on, then my pinhole is constantly exposing, huh???? Got it!
Then that must mean I need to cover the pinhole at all times once my inside
dark curtain is released.
     Hey, you should realize that anyone who would BUY a readymade lenscap
with a pinhole in it, instead of making one, is not mechanically inclined;
although I knew the shutter was in the lens but it did not compute in my
brain!!!! (you would think they would include a "pinhole cap" with the
lenscap for people like me...)
Thanx, Chris
