    Re: Need a good cable release

    I have had 3 or 4 Chinese ones break or go missing.
    Usually the bit your thumb pushes screws off and disappears or I don't know but I do know I hate cheap Chinese tools with a passion.
    They caused me to go out into the field the other day and had to manually release shutter

    And then there is the I don't have one period.

    Last week at work I only had cheap Chinese tin snips and it ruined the whole day

    Next day I bought some good ones and life was a breeze. The pain caused and the downtime made those cheap ones actually cost hundreds. Plus stress. The good ones cost $35

    I am also mOre than happy to pay $2 and not $30
    I will do a looky look

    I've got nothing against quality used gear, in fact nearly all my stuff is used. If I were in the market for a cable release and found a used Gepe, Degroff, Ebony or Linhof in good shape for a buck or two I'd certainly grab it (unless the shipping was $20!)
