Setup shots in comments

So, I needed a remote for my D40. Here it is!
It cost me €5,99 (instead of the €20+ for a Nikon remote).

It's small, and the red (power) button works as it should.

I know, it's not tiny or pretty as the Nikon ML-L3, but it works for me. I might just use it a few times per year.

The BULB mode works with this remote, once this is set up on the camera (increasing the exposure to it's maximum). Press the first time to start shooting, press the second time, and it ends shooting.
