I have, and have used a very inexpensive alternative from pc-mobile.com and it works fine. However, the Nikon release screws in securely (my alternative does not). It also has a longer cord (almost too long, but the alternative is too short) I ultimately went back to the MC. One thing that those who espouse just using the self-timer never seem to cover: There are just times when YOU want to control exactly when the shutter trips, and the self-timer just won't do that. Shooting flower closeups between wind gusts comes to mind as an example. I wholeheartedly agree. I have, and have used a very inexpensive alternative from pc-mobile.com and it works fine.
