The handle has a hole in it through which you can thread a cable release for push-button convenience. There are two bubble levels on top of the camera and two cold shoes. I was tempted to buy the lens for its generous coverage but found the drawbacks of using it on my monorails too annoying. The Cambo wide solves those problems. Perfect parallel alignment of front and back standards, always, without question.
Camera is very sturdy and much better in inclement weather than bellows cameras.
Handheld shooting is possible, especially with accessory viewfinder. Anyone who has spent time squinting at the dark corners of a groundglass with an ultrawide lens can understand the value of this. As noted, no tilts or swings. Many 35mm shooters figure that if 18 or 20mm is good, 14mm must be better, but of course you can get too much of a good thing and the 47mm is no exception in most circumstances.
