dmitry_beliakov Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Mark: I had similar problem. Try to find Kaiser cable release. They are not as expensive as Hassey's, and work simple. They also got two "tails", each you screw into the "pinhole" under lense and work like with a syringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hasselblads do not need a special cabe release, so almost* any standard thing will do. Are there photostores that do not sell standard cable releases?<br>(* "Almost", because there are some rather badly made ones for sale too.)

berg_na Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 There's a huge selection of <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?ci=1&sb=ps&pn=1&sq=desc&InitialSearch=yes&O=RootPage.jsp&A=search&Q=*&bhs=t&shs=cable+release" target=new>cable releases available at B&H</a>.

stephen_kruft Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Right - as the other answers say, the 500CM uses standard cable releases. The only exception I know is that not all cable releases will fit into the Hasselblad accessory grip if you break or lose the one that came with it.

ed_skibeki Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 As usual, Q.G. parts the clouds & lets in the light.... I would only add that if using a bellows shade, most standard cable release designs have a hard time turning the sharp corner to clear the rear of the bellows. That's why there is an "angled" attachment available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
