Advertisement Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Hi UltraDan, Take a look here M4-p cable release question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted August 20, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2019 I have some cables releases that work on M film or digital same thread. But sadly, I've bought some "cheap" that didn't screw in M shutter button. Found kind of explanation, here this link " Cable releases with straight American threads are American Standard Thread 5-44. The tapered threads are 50 TPI and tapered down at 14 degrees 20 minutes from a maximum diameter of .156". " Jim Jones wrote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted August 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2019 Pretty well any generic universal cable release will work with the M4-P, you'd be very unlucky to get one that didn't fit. If looking for a brand the ones I have in my camera bags are Hama, Kaiser, Silvestri. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted August 22, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2019 No name cheap cables can be lost of money. I had some broken in use when they can screw in Leica M. Just had a look at those which work well on Leica M , many are "Gitzo" cables from different period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
