    Last picture is likely a cable release for a Nikon F2.

    Can I have a regular cable release??

    Where were these from? I've been looking for a specific length cable release and I'm around your area I think!

    The middle one looks like it fits the bed of older Technika cameras.
    My iPhone would take sharper pictures of these so I would not blame it on the phone.

    A newish Camera shop in Scarborough

    I was at a camera fair and wanted a cable release, I asked the price £2 each or £20 the lot (around 25), I sold one for an early Leica, YAshica etc for more . . . . .

    3rd pic doesn't look like the Nikon/Yashica/Leica fitting. Older funky for odd brand of shutter.
