It's the other way around, actually. TM Leicas such as the IIIc and IIIg used a special "screwover" thread on the cable release; the M Leicas all use a conventional screw-in cable release. There is a Leitz adapter to fit LTM accessories to the M, and thus I use a Leica APDOO timer on my M6 with an QZTNO adapter.
