opteka remote cord release canon eosDecember 3, 2008 I have used this item on 4-5 field trips and was very frustrated with the number of misfires and lost picture's I really wanted. I quit carrying the unit and went back to manual focus untill my wireless remote arrived. Hey [you get what you pay for] these days, if you are serious about your picture's go with quality wireless remote. Thanks James/ Lithonia Ga
Works well.September 22, 2008 Have used it to trigger my Canon 40D on my telescope and it worked just fine.
So far, so good... Good value for moneySeptember 19, 2008 No surprise, working as expected. A little bit longer would have been better - I'll cut it and extend it myself one of these days.
It focuses, but doesn't shoot!August 1, 2008 Waste of my time, I just got this item and hooked it up to my Canon EOS 30D. The button focuses, but does not shoot. I pressed down really hard and nothing happened.
It is designed to hold the button down when using the BULB shutter (long exposures) but it's all useless if your can't fire the shutter!
This is going back to where it came from!

I had my camera equipment stolen and read the reviews on the less expensive Opteka cable release and decided to save a few bucks on the replacement. I have now had 2 and they both have failed within the 1st ten shots. Extremely frustrating when you're in the field and cant't get the shots you have meticulously set up for the right moment. I am going back to the Canon version which worked perfectly for years. Remember, you get what you pay for.
