I have some ammo with which to go hunting a release. I did try several actual cable releases and all were miserable. I have an old cable release, finely made in Germany, and cloth covered, but it is too short, and the head is not the right size. I will try to track down the Leica releases Apropos of this, I went a-lookin' for the release mentioned earlier on this board. Someone mentioned that Minolta made a very nice cable release that was not too exhorbitant; couln't find it! Everything else is schlock/Dreck/poopoo/caca! You would think that with the burgeoning of the photomarket, and with people buying expensive cameras, that someone would/could make a decent cable release that doesn't fall apart after six months' use! Most P&S cameras don't even have a place for a cable release, but the higher end models of Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, et al do have a place for them! It's easier finding a left-handed pipe wrench.... Anyway, thanks- gotta get off the soapbox so Mama can call her church circle!
