Jurgen,
"I believe it is better to get a modified cable release ..." I thought of that as well, but decided a tapered socket was the better option. The reason is that currently manufactured cable releases have tapered threads. They have become the standard. Changing the shutter's cable release socket would mean that you could then use any cable release.
Many of us use the Kapture Group One Shot cable release, which has tapered threads. The availability of a straight thread cable release wouldn't help us. The people who really should fix this problem are at Copal. They make one shutter with a tapered thread socket, but four with straight threads. (http://www.rtsphoto.com/html/copal2.html) They should make all their shutters with tapered threads, or at least make them an option.
