This cable release works perfectly on my Toyo-View GII. It attaches to the shutter lever very easily and securely. It functions very smoothly, is very flexible and has the cloth covering that protects the areas where it might touch my camera or other accessories. The cable is very well made and designed for many years of useage. I am sure that I could not find a better one. It dose everything that I expect from a high quality cable. There are no con's whatsoever just pro's.

The cable release worked perfectly for the few times I used it. Now, the cable housing has stretched somehow and the triggering pin/wire barely exits at the end when the button is pressed and it won't trigger my camera. I've used cable releases that are 30 years old and still work fine, but this one failed after a few actuations.

This works very well, it's durable and flexible. I'm not afraid to lug it around with me throughout varying atmospheres and shooting environments.

Just got this. Seems to be well made and smoothly functioning - but take note that there is no lock on this cable release! My fault for not noticing - don't make the same mistake.

I got this cable release for my Noblex 150F. It does fit nicely but won't trigger my camera. Giving 3 stars because of the issue described above, otherwise I would give it 4 for build quality.

I bought this to use with my Leica M3 and it works beautifully. I prefer the look and feel of the cloth cover rather than vinyl, and am quite pleased with this cable release.
It operates smoothly and appears to be very well made- great for the price.

This is the 1st cable release I have ever bought, and I can say it works perfectly.
However, I still have some difficulties to "feel" with the cable the difference between when I focus and the moment I take the picture. Maybe a cable release which is a little bit more expenssive would not have this problem, or not...
