    I think you'll like the Gepe disc lock.
    BTW, is the grand old hospital building still standing in New Orleans? I've always thought it is a marvelous piece of architecture.

    I'll be in Arizona and Utah in a month for a two-week hiking/backpacking trip and I'll probably attempt a long exposure at night (estimating about 6-7 hours on Provia) so a shutter release cable is a must.

    The Charity Hospital has been abandoned since Katrina but it still stands.

    Yes, but a PVC one will be more flexible.

    All my various shutter releases work for all my various Fujinon lenses. If a release is worn out, or develops a kink in it, it won't work correctly for ANY camera or lens. But not all releases are created equal to begin with. You get what you pay for (based on original pricing - even superb releases can be found for a bargain
    used, or even "new/old inventory".

    Thanks, Drew. I went with a new Gepe.
