Best cable release avalaible

[makanakijones]

I want a cable release that will last for years, preferably cloth or braided, no plastics.
Any advice? Any known seller or maker?

Those look promising.

I'm quite happy with my Nikon.

Another vote for Nikon. Had mine for close on 40 years, looks like new. See if you can get one of the all metal ones, there's usually NOS on ebay. The ones with the black plastic grip work just fine, I just think the all chrome grip looks better.

Compared to others, it's a bargain at $20. I can't think of how it can be improved, just about perfect.

My older Pentax cable release looks to be identical to my old Nikon release. I figure they were made by a third party.

I find the ones made by Ebony large format cameras to be very good.

I've got two of the Horseman releases & they work well. Picked them up for cheap though. The head is relatively heavy.
Nikon,Minolta and Canon all made high quality cr's.
With Nikon there are apparently two varieties, one standard, one for the old Leica/Nikon/Yashica style attachment AR2, it's a female thread. There is an adapter to go to a standard male thread available but not real common.

Tallyn's has some nice ones, house branded but durable and flexible. I've had several for a while now (4-5 years) with no degradation whatsoever.
