If you need a Leitz double cable release, it doesn’t get much nicer than this. It’s still in the original box (which has some cosmetic marks from tape residue), likely unused, and ready for any double cable release task. We’re not sure how useful these are today, but if you need one, you’ve found it. Scroll down for the details, assuming you have the time and the curiosity. Both are optional.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eLet's talk about a piece of German engineering so specific, so utterly niche, that you have to admire the audacity of anyone who thought to manufacture it in the first place. The Ernst Leitz Prontor double shutter-release cable is, at its heart, a solution to a problem most people didn't know they had: how do you fire two shutters at once without growing a third hand?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThis isn't some flimsy afterthought but a proper mechanical accessory with metal fittings, flexible sheaths that actually flex, and plungers that move with the kind of tactile satisfaction that makes you want to press them just to hear the click. Leave it to the Germans to engineer a cable release with the same fervour they'd apply to a suspension bridge. One imagines a team of engineers in lab coats, debating the optimal plunger resistance over schnapps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eBuilt for studio photographers, macro obsessives, and anyone wrestling with a Visoflex setup, it trips two shutters nearly simultaneously, which is either incredibly useful or the answer to a question no one asked, depending on your perspective. The Germans, bless them, never met a problem too small to solve with breathtaking thoroughness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eBut here's the thing: it works. Beautifully. The dual-cable design is simple, durable, and purely mechanical in the way that means it'll outlast whatever digital gadget you're currently nursing through its third firmware update.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eJust smooth action, solid construction, and the quiet confidence of something built to last. We love it for exactly those reasons. It's not flashy, doesn't announce itself, but pick one up and you'll understand what craftsmanship used to mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe Prontor double cable is more than dependable. It's a reminder that some problems were solved so well the first time, they didn't need solving again. The Germans saw to that.\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leica Leitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157831073979,"sku":"ERN-PRO-35M-GD-100086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/6960\/6331\/files\/ERN-PRO-35M-GD-100086-ernst-leitz-prontor-double-shutter-release-cable-vintage-leica-used-0001.jpg?v=1763235930","url":"https:\/\/www.foxandtalbot.com\/products\/ernst-leitz-prontor-double-shutter-release-cable-leica-visofelx","provider":"Fox and Talbot Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
