guys what are you using for your d200s? im considering a mc20 or mc30. still debating on whic one to get. the mc36 is so expensive an out of the question. just want a simple one that will do the job. any suggestions? thanks

... mmmmmmm... I just use the self timer Bro. :)

true true but i love using the bulb mode. the self timer is a hassle to use especially if you are estimating your shots. with the cable release+ bulb you got full control

i too am also looking for a cable release for the d200...

i also use the timer but when i want to make bulb exposures, the self timer wont definitely do the trick...

so mainly i'm on the look for a mc-30 - may it be the original or a 3rd party one.

there are a lot of 3rd party mc-30s on ebay...if your thinking of purchasing one, can i also "hitch" into your purchase? :)

thanks! hehehe

yes im considering the mc30 as well but like you mentioned there are numerous clones that do the job like addit etc etc. will most likely get the mc30. its available in hk for around $450hkd

Guys, I saw an MC-30 at Columbia Cubao.. it cost 3K+.

thats about the price

well i just called columbia digital and they have no stocks for the mc-30. stocks will be arriving by the 1st week of october.

First I got one of the "clone" remotes from Ebay. It works - most of the time :Angry:
I then got an MC-36 but realized that I don't need it's other features(it's big and fugly too:) not to mention expensive) since the D200 already has a built in intervalometer so I sold it. I am expecting my MC-30 to arrive this week and will will report back as to how that turns out.

One other option is to use your laptop along with Nikon Camera Control.

i compared shooting using timer (20s) and using a cable release and i noticed a slight blur on the timer-shot. i guess there's still a slight shake?

oh, and with the cable release, you can go beyond 30s.

I use the MC-30 which I also use on my F100 and it's working aboslutely perfect. There is an MC-20 at Wells Edsa cor. South Superhighway now just bargain cause their prices are a bit expensive. Most of their items now are on sale.

@ dindin

i remembered inquiring a mc-30 before. maybe you can get a mc-30? meron na ba? :)

the mc-36 is expensive the if i want a timer, i'll get the mc-20 instead.

as of last check, mc-30 is phased out and very hard to find in HK (not even in tin cheung as carlo mentioned to me earlier)... am scouting for one as I type this post...

will keep you guys posted.

Before the sale they are selling the MC-20 at about 8k now I think it's 5k try to call them first.

Hi Dindin,

Did you try turning on shutter delay mode(option d5) on your D200 when you did the test? This mitigates the effect of the mirror slap. Of course, using the mirror lock-up function with the remote is best but sometimes it's such a hassle to fiddle with the remote (I guess I am lazy :Grin:)

regards.

Just got my MC30. It works well with my D200. No complaints.

Got my MC-30 too. Much better than that MC-36 TV remote :)

tried this but Nikon Capture Control won't allow you to do bulb exposures. It will insist that you use a cable release! :Angry:
