Cable release adapter for Leica LTM, Nikon F/F2, Widelux, Yashica A and other vintage cameras (e.g. Leotax, Nicca). This adapter allows the use of a modern shutter release cable release to be used on a variety of vintage cameras. These are uncommon items today! The condition is new.

Price: $15 plus shipping

Will these actually thread into an LTM body as-is or do you have to remove the collar from around the shutter release?
 
I think most cameras, and perhaps all Leica thread mount cameras, have a collar that needs to be unscrewed to use this adapter, which only takes a couple of seconds to do. On many cameras the collars have been lost! These collars are small and easy to misplace. Of course a shutter release collar is really just a trim piece, and serves no important function (at least as far as I know - they are missing in some of my own cameras!).
 
These will fit on a Nikon w/o removing the collar but not Leica LTM bodies in my experience.

This is weird, because the Nikon AR-2 release threads into either without removing the collar.
 
My AR-2 cable release will fit my IIIC without unscrewing the collar. I'll test one of the adapter tips soon.
 
These are handy and, IMO, desirable to have to hand, even if you have yet to find a camera using one.
