Bulb Setting on a 35mm Canon Elan II


I have been experimenting with the bulb setting on my 35mm to get skyline pictures at night. I have to depress the button to keep the shutter open for any amount of time over 30 seconds. Some of my pictures have come out blurry due to the fact that I'll move my hand during this process. Can anyone tell me if there is a remote shutter button attachment that I can purchase to attach to the camera so that my pictures will come out clear?

Thanks!

  Rachael,

Yes it's called a "shutter release". You can find them at many camera stores. The model for the wired version that you want is the RS-60E3 for $25.95. The wireless version is the RC-1 for $24.95. You can click the picture(s) below to go to B&H to buy it.
