This is a Professional grade 12 inch Locking Cable Release, made in Germany. This is brand new in the package. They do not get any better then this. You can tie it in a knot and it will still operate smoothly.
I always get asked if this will fit someone's camera. I will say this, they are a standard size, all the same. If your camera has a threaded socket for a release this will fit and work fine.
As for the Yashica Mat cameras exclusively this will fit the Yashica Mat 12, 24, 124 and 124G without an adapter. All others require an adapter which I sell in my ebay store, just search Yashica Mat to find them.
The operation is very smooth. Use this to reduce camera shake when shooting with a tripod. I use one when I do Macro work and also for the nice top of the mountain panoramic shots. There is no doubt that using a cable release produces a sharper image.
For timed exposures it has a Zeiss Lock. You release the lock so when you push the plunger it says locked until you push the top of the locking disk and release it.
The tip rotates to eliminate the possibility of it unscrewing itself while you are working.
The absolute best cable release on the market today. This is sure to provide you with a lifetime of faithful service.
