[Konvas] OCT18 and Canon 7D

BTW - I forgot to mention this, but I lowered the resolution and the  
image quality to 80% on those jpegs (and they were still 3MB each for  
the 'big' versions). I'll play around with it some more later in the  
week.

One thing I'll note is that the lens was very close to the mirror - so  
I'm assuming some wider lenses (that stick back past the lip on the  
mount) will not work if you use the mirror. But here's the kicker -  
when you turn the camera to video mode, the shutter goes up and stays  
up... Sweet.
