That's what the Mamyia RC-402 module was for. It provides a two position momentary contact switch with an attached tapered release screw socket, (I can't remember if it's ASA or DIN that specifies the standard), that you would find on most cameras from about 1950 to the age of digital

Yes, I have. Other devices such as the Canon adapter to their propitiatory four or five pin connector might work, though I don't know if they still even make them. Then you'd have to cut the wire and solder a mini stereo plug onto it, which might not be possible if it's a nylon core wire.
