Subject: [rollei_list] Cable Release
I have a really old Rollei (I think its from the 50's) that
someone just gave me. I've been planning to use it for
night sky shots. However the cable release that I have
doesn't seem to work for it. It screws in but when I push
the plunger it doesn't take a picture.
Any tips

Some of us consider 1930's Rolleis to be really old:-)
If this is one of the models where the cable release
screws into the button used for tripping the shutter there
may be a part missing. There is a rod inside the release
socket that the end of the cable release presses against. If
its missing the the cable release won't work unless it has a
very long throw. You may be able to see what is in the
socket by shining a flash light into it.
If you post the serial number of the camera it can be
dated and the model identified. The serial number on most
Rolleiflexes is under the name at the front of the finder
hood.
