Hi all, just got my SpeedGraphic and took some first shots.
Noticed that I need a cable release for the FP shutter to avoid vibration.
However, the shutter is rather stiff and it needs to be pushed quite far to release. My current cable is not able to do so.
I believe a cable with long and sturdy pin is needed.
Any recommendations?
Btw I am in China and hope that it ships here. Last post I checked on this website referred to Drahtausloeser in Germany which unfortunately only ships to Europe.

Besides, is a stiff FP shutter release normal? Shall I try to loosen it with lubs?

Thanks for the help!
