Hi folks,
I'm looking for a mechanical release for my 6x17. I bought a £7 one off ebay (Kood?) and it locks once you've fired it, and you have to faff around with a bit of metal to release it which is untenable for 2-4 second exposures. This seems like a stupid design to me and I want one that's like my Mamiya that activates when you push the plunger and releases when you release the plunger. The interim solution is to use the Mamiya release but it's long, has 2 cables (for mirror lockup which I don't need on the 6x17) and gets in the way. I only need a short one.
Anyone know what I should be searching for (or can link me to one) that doesn't lock when you press the plunger?
Thanks!
