Self-Timers and Cable Releases

It turns out the Colorist has a tapered-thread cable release socket so the following is moot.

I have had a very hard time finding a straight-thread cable release. I stumbled upon this odd Kopil mechanical self-timer on Ebay so I decided to give it a try. I say odd because it is unlike any of the other Kopil, Alpex, Autoknips or others I have seen. I got my father-in-law a self-timer for his Realist, but it is a tapered-thread model.
