I'll start working out and avoid quiche ;-)
The cables are intended for #5 shutters and although I'm sure a long throw
tapered thread release cable would work I'm more concerned about the long
term effect of using them on the parallel threaded shutter connection. It
seems as though I may not have much choice unless the right cables turn up.
As for use of cables - the only time they don't get used is when there is
no shutter....
Just read your comment about the Alphax - but that's now a different thread.
Cheers,
