Advertisement Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Guest Ridder Cornelius, Take a look here Timer for M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rwfreund Posted March 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2008 Sounds like a fun project. Solenoid, cable release, dry cell battery, clock, couple of wires and away you go, or you might pick up an LM556 (If I remember the chip number for a dual timer circuit, set one for the interval (rc), the other to be triggered by the first, and then to drive an open collector transistor to the dc solenoid. Piece of cake More fun if you would like it pneumatically actuated with a tire used as a source of compressed air in the field. Send us a picture when you are done. Seriously, nope I haven't seen anything recently off the shelf. -bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted March 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2008 It would be a lot easier if Leica externalised the connections required to trigger the shutter, as Nikon does. That said, Nikon cameras like the D2x and D3 have built intervalometers. This really is not an ideal application for a Leica M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_tanaka Posted March 12, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2008 I've never seen such an intervalometer for an M. I would, however, only be mildly surprised to discover some German camera elf who, during an bout of boredom, had adapted a medication dosimeter into an M intervalometer and was now selling it for $1,500 through a Web site.

ken_tanaka Posted March 13, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 13, 2008 I hope you have permission to use your assistant's image, Charlie. This brings back memories. That F-1 was a -real- camera! There was no way I could have afforded one of my own when I was in college. But I was able to borrow one from a friend (who went on in life to win a Pulitzer and several other awards) one weekend to shoot some architectural work. My hands trembled through the first roll. Wow, that was some picture-takin' power! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

picture Posted April 12, 2010 Share #9 Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks, I've just ordered one in black from Calumet. It's not quite what I was looking for, but I'm sure there'll be a firmware upgrade or a hack that will make it 100 times smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
