Yes, I have experienced this also. In my case, I found that after a while
the outer sleeve (black fabric) of my Hama cable release tended to be longer
than before, so that the travel of the plunger was not enough to reach the
release. Plunger was not adjustable on this one, so this item was
discharged. I now have a very sturdy Minolta cable release with what looks
like metal fabric under clear plastic as the outer sleeve. This one never
failed. I mainly use it for long exposure in astronomy pics. So , get a good
one !
