I've just bought the first version of Autoknips from ~1920-1930 for release cables. It's suprising that such great condition to this day!

@arkadiusz Oh, those things are beautiful. Lovely little clockwork things.

Yea, I thought that it couldn't handle my Beier Beirax II medium format camera because you have to use a lot of force to trigger the shutter with a release cable. However it turned out that it works perfectly 👌

@arkadiusz With the Leica one, you might have to adjust it to travel far enough to travel each camera; I would assume yours is the same. Mine is set to work on every screwmount Leica I own, but won't work on my Yashica TLRs that use the same externally-threaded cable release fitting. I'm not about to fiddle with it to dial it in for those, though!
