: I have a late model 4X5 Crown Graphic. What type / make of shutter release cable should I be looking for. Will any of the current brands on the market work, or should I be looking (as with so many accessories) for older "vintage" stock?

Look at the cable socket. I suspect as new as your camera is it should have a tapered thread. If it does, then any modern release will work. If for some reason you have a lens that's much older than your camera then it will have a straight thread. Tapered cable releases will work but won't hold as well as vintage cable releases with straight threads.
