These are also my favorite.  Another advantage is that they have a longer throw
which helps with some older shutters.  In the past Calumet sold them, but
apparently no longer. From photos on their website, it looks like www.mpex.com
also has them -- under "Large Format Basics" as "Misc" brand "AUTO-LOCK
RELEASE".
