which cable release adapter for recessed?

[Andrea Gazzoni]

I'd like to ask some advice on what kind of cable release adapter works the best with recessed lensboards.

I see there are these two models, which is best in your experience?

thank you

Hi Andre,

Definitely the one on the right (the short, flexible one).

Although slightly more expensive, well worth it.

thanks for the advice Gem, I guess you can suspect of which lens this will be attached to ;)

isn't it more prone to broke due to the constant bend?

I have been using these flexible cable release extenders for several years, and have never had one fail.

I use them for wide angle lenses that are mounted in smaller recessed lens boards and leave them attached all the time. A more severe bend than in a larger sized Sinar recessed lens board. Plenty of space for a Copal 0 shutter an a Sinar recessed board.
