G'day, I am looking for a shutter release for my nikon D700. I am not familiar with what is out there, so would like some opinions pro's

and cons.

 

Cheers Richard

Does the mc 36 allow bulb activation for d700 ?

[chris_graamans]

<p>Yes, the mc36 does bulb.</p>

<p>MC-36 is overkill if all you need is a remote release with bulb mode. The MC-30 will do this for around 40% of the price. Of course, there are many non-Nikon solutions to accomplish the same thing for even lower prices.</p>

<p>I've ended up using a non-Nikon solution. I'm a happy user of the <a href="http://www.foolography.com/products/unleashed/">Unleashed D200+</a> for GPS tagging photos in-camera. It occupies the 10-pin release socket and has a 2.5mm jack for activating the shutter. I do have a wired release for that, but it's more common for me to use a radio flash trigger to trigger it (the triggers also have a 2.5mm plug) even if I'm not actually using any flash with the triggers.</p>

<p>Thank you all, I have decided to buy the MC 36, I think it will give me the outcomes I am looking for. Thank you all for your tips and help here.</p>

<p>Best Regards</p>

<p>This item is identical to the MC-36 except for possibly the heft of the cord. All the same functions, even looks the same, but is only $50!</p>
