cable for old Tessar

[mylek]

Is it still possible to buy a release cable for an old Betax #5 shutter with the thread outside the connector as opposed to the standard?

Regards!

Those I owned also had a standard inside thread - the outdated and less common Kodak straight flange variant, but that is downward compatible to the conical Deckel type cables that are still around today. You need a long pin one, IIRC with a small nipple - that combination may be a bit harder to find, but ebay is packed with used cable releases... The outside thread was for a proprietary pneumatic release, there is nothing modern that will fit there (it is much smaller than the Leica/Nikon bell type connector).
