This will mainly be of use for long (>30") exposures, so a way of either locking the shutter open, or a timer is mandatory.

There is a tremendous difference in the build quality of the Canon vs the aftermarket switches. You would be quite satisfied with the Canon switch, I am sure. Just get it and forget about the price as soon as you can. Skip Douglas
