Title: Dead on Arrival
Review: I took a gamble and lost. I used an off-brand shutter release cable on my Rebel XT and it worked fine, but that camera has a very common headphone type plug for it, whereas the 20D-50D camera has a proprietary plug. Despite being a very simple switch mechanism, the release cable has something disconnected in it and will engage autofocus, but it never triggers the shutter. I rolled the dice with Opteka and I got burned. Since it cost $13 and I'm having trouble contacting 47th Street Photo to exchange it (and will probably cost me 50% more in shipping fees), it's probably easier to just eat the cost. Lesson learned. Note: based on other reviews, the Opteka product might have connectivity issues with 50D cameras, as I see a lot of complaints from 50D owners with Opteka shutter release products while 20D-40D owners seem happy with it.
