shutter release cable extension
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has ever heard of a short extension cable being available to leave on your shutter so that when you set up or tear down, you unscrew your shutter release cable from the extension and not from the lens? My reason for asking is that I have one of these very long "air release" bulb operated devices (so that I can be in the picture that I take) and the piston assembly is just too thick to screw in beside my lensboard. I think an extension about 6" long would do just fine and I'd rather buy one than make one. cheers -- regards from :: John Bartley 43 Norway Spruce Street Stittsville, Ontario Canada, K2S1P5 ( If you slow down it takes longer - does that apply to life also?)

length. They may sell longer ones, check their web site. "John Bartley" wrote in message .. .

Gepe Wide Angle Cable Release Extension. Distributed in Canada by Daymen Hi Bob, Thank you for the suggestion. I went looking for this product and came up empty. No trouble finding Gepe or Daymen, but no info at all at all on the product. I don't usually come up this short when I go hunting. Any ideas other than a long distance phone call? cheers -- regards from :: John Bartley 43 Norway Spruce Street Stittsville, Ontario Canada, K2S1P5 ( If you slow down it takes longer - does that apply to life also?)

Did you try emailing Daymen? They'll tell you if the product is available in Canada. If it is then either ask your friendly local dealer to order it from Daymen or Ask Photo-co in Quebec to order it. Photo-co is pretty good about ordering things in. Prices and shipping are very fair. Or I think these are the items you want. Bob can confirm/deny. http://www.mpex.com/CABLE_RELEASES_AND_ADAPTERS.htm Nick
