Nikon MC-36

$153.00 Est. at Amazon

from "KP47", www1.wolfcamera.com
it's a remote release and it works like it should.
from www.adorama.com
i do not like that the screw in is on the front of the camera and it you have to screw a tightening ring which is very small but other than that the cable release works great and i am happy with it.
from "REnsor", www.adorama.com
handy bit of kit, but a bit bulky for what it is, cable needs to be longer for what i use it for and the buttons seem weak, but works well and does what it says it will.
from "AL", www.adorama.com
the mc -36 is very well made like most nikon products my last remote cord the mc-20 is still working after four years of hard use and i believe the mc-36 will last just as long.
