<td colspan="2">hello <br /><br />For both the Graphex #2 and the Copal #1--is this cable release suitable: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272795-REG/Gepe_601212_Plastic_Covered_Cable_Release.html" target="_blank">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272795-REG/Gepe_601212_Plastic_Covered_Cable_Release.html</a> <br /><br />More to the point: are some threaded connectors conical while others are straight. <br /><br />We inserted the connector into the Graphex lens release--naturally, it seats only so far...is this acceptable? <br /><br />thank you</td>

<p>I've never seen a cable release that isn't conical. The one linked to will certainly be fine with a Copal #1 shutter, and it is common for these devices to feel as though they are not firmly attached.</p>

Tapered works great in those shutters

It just needs to be tight enough to not back out

during use.

 

Just out of curious its, who is "we"?
