Details of the Pro Release range:

Simply stated Pro-Releases are the finest German cable releases, in the largest range of sizes and types, at the most competitive prices! With Pro-Release there is no reason to ever settle for an inferior quality cable release.

Pro-Release also offers "L" and "U" shaped metal adapters when the cable release socket is not easily accessible as well as the 3.25" long Gepe-Pro Wide Angle Cable Release Adapter that is super flexible, has a tiny tip and allows the use of a cable release in otherwise inaccessible locations like double recessed lensboards! Gepe-Pro Releases are available in lengths from 6 to 40" and with 34 different releases offered there is one for every application!

We can also make custom releases for remote operations by mechanical means for other then photographic uses on an OEM basis!

Pro Releases are available in the following coverings

  • Cloth releases are the most flexible and are designed for average use.
  • Plastic coated cable releases have more strength and are waterproof and are available in black, red, blue or white.
  • Spiral steel releases are stronger, but less flexible, their plastic coverings make them waterproof.
  • Woven metal sheath releases have the greatest strength and are very flexible. Plastic covered ones are also waterproof but less flexible.

They are between o.8 an 1" thick are equipped with 10,000 hour, 5000K ±270K CCFL tubes that supply very even daylight illumination. The two smallest models operate from batteries or AC while the two larger models operate from AC only. All versions are supplied complete with the AC adapter and a practical pouch case.

For those needing larger illuminated surfaces Gepe-Pro has two professional illuminators, only 1.5" thick, that use 5000K ±270K, 13W, 10,000 hour CCFL tubes. They are available with either an 8x18" or 12x18" illuminated area. Each has provision for wall mounting and an angle arm to use them at an inclined angle. They have film clamping strips on the top and bottom edges and are calibrated in both inches on one end and CM on the other. The acrylic panel is easily removed with 2 large screws for tube changes.

The Gepe-Pro line of slide viewers includes three 5000K ±270K daylight viewers, two for 35mm only and one for any medium format or 35mm film size - including all panoramic sizes from 24x56mm to 2 1/4x9"!

The folding G5002 viewer accepts mounted 2x2" slides and has a convenient neckstrap so you can have it with you at all times! The 1.8X glass lens is very large (1.7x1.7") and folds for storage. A smallLED lights up whenever the viewer is on so you can't fold it up and put it away without seeing that the lamps are on. The 5002 is powered by 4 AA cells.

The desktop G5001 viewer accepts either mounted 35mm slides or continuous strips of film. It stands freely on the desktop and a convenient on-off switch leaves your hands free to handle your film or mounts!. The 3x glass lens is a generous 2.8x2.8" and when through viewing a slide the mount is deposited into the attached slide carrier at the push of a button! The 5001 is powered by 4 AA cells or with an optional AC adapter.

The versatile G5003 viewer accepts any format film up to 9" long in either 35mm 2 1/4 or 70mm! A folding mask adjusts the film channel for 35mm or medium format widths. The 2x glass lens (2.8x2.8") slides over the length of the 9" viewing area so all parts of the film can be viewed! The lens mounts onto the top of the folding lid and when through viewing the lid folds flat and the lens clips on to the top of the lid. The folded viewer fits into the supplied carrying pouch! The 5003 is powered by 6AA cells or an optional AC adapter and is equipped with folding feet to use the viewer at inclined angle when you are seated! The 5003 can hold on the 9" viewing area the following:

Strip of six 35mm frames, five 35mm or Super Slide mounts, three 6x6 or 6.45 slide mounts, three 6x7cm slide mounts, one 6x17cm frame or two 6x12cm frames!

For a non-illuminated viewer/magnifier for use on a lightbox Gepe offers the 2x viewer that works on any illuminated or non-illuminated surface. Sized to cover a complete 2x2" mount a slot also allows it to slide over film strips with no change of scratching the film! The glass lens is well shielded to avoid flare form outside light sources and is distrotion-free.

And for simple viewing at 8x Gepe offers the popular, clear skirted 8x loupe. But the difference is that it is Gepe quality at a very attractive price!
