Title: Mamiya cable release wanted
Post by: PhilipJames on June 24, 2010, 10:01:39 am

Does anyone have a Electro Magnetic cable release for a Mamiya 645 afd that they don't need and would like to sell?

Philip, you can order one through any Leaf/ Phase/ Mamiya dealer for about 100 EUR. It comes in either 1m or a 5m length

Hope this helps

Thanks Yair, I know, it just seems very expensive so I wanted to investigate if anyone had a used one at a reasonable price.

I would only recommend considering buying a new one because it is a thin cable release and as such, potentially a used one may or may not be reliable depending on how it has been treated (which would be difficult to discern).

On something like a cable release I would probably bite the bullet on a new one. I wouldn't say it's flimsy, but you can see the potential.

Just a thought.
