I have periodically found second-hand short releases (about 3-4") at camera fairs. I bought one last Sunday for 20 pence (UK). I have a 35mm Rodenstock Apo-Grandagon which sits in a VERY recessed lens panel on my Rollei xAct and the modern releases have a long knurled screw fitting. The one I purchased was only about 1/4 inch long including thread. The vendor had 3 or 4 more - I should have bought them all. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schauss, Peter Sent: 13 February 2007 21:46 To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Source for a short cable release Does anyone know where I can buy a cable release about 2-3" long? I would like to be able to use a cable release on my Rolleicord since I suspect I will get less camera shake than if I trip the shutter with the cocking lever. The shortest length I can find in places like B&H is 6" which is really too long to leave attached to the camera when I am carrying it.
