A vintage AutoKnips IV selftimer. It's a cool piece of photo history that still works. Made in Germany. I'm unsure of the year. Probably circa 1970. It even works on my Fujifilm X-T30. #AutoKnips #B&W #ShutterRelease #nostalgia

For this weeks theme on Macro Mondays "Contraption" a picture of an old mecanical autotimer, supposed to trigger a camera with the corresponding cable. It still works fine. The actual size is about 1 by 2 inches. HMM

Macro Mondays: "Cotton"

 

The coarse black cotton threads are attached behind this nifty little device ( - 6cm diagonally from corner to corner). In the background is the fine cotton weave of one of my favourite pocket-handkerchiefs.

 

The "Haka Autoknips" is an accessory self-timer for delayed triggering of a camera's shutter via a cable-release. According to the instruction leaflet, it is to be tied on to the camera, e.g. to the struts supporting the lens and bellows ( - such of those of the Voigtländer Bessa shown in the first comment below), to avoid kinking the cable. The cable-release is activated by the piston just visible through the hole to the right of the red knob. Fast shutter speeds are set on the camera. If the camera is set to "B", then extended shutter speeds from 1/2 second to 10 seconds can be set on the "Autoknips".

 

(My apologies for the misleading original text to this photo - it pays to read instructions!)

 

HMM!

For this week's theme on Macro mondays a picture of Autoknips, a mechanical self-timer, and the corresponding evolution in my Nikon D5000, HMM.

Vintage german made "Autoknips II" - mechanical timer for wired shutter

English : self timer , autorelease

“Knipsen’(Germany) = taking a photo (snapshot)

Spring loaded device that opens a slot at the bottom when the bar with the red dot is rotated . In the slot the knob of a release cable can be attached . The mechanism is activated by unlocking a second bar on the side . After a few seconds the release button on the camera -where the other end of cable is fixed to- , is pushed .

My father loved Exakta cameras. This is an early Kine Exakta, circa 1938, with a square waist-level finder attached. This is a type 1.2.2 on the Wrotniak versioning system. (www.wrotniak.net/photo/exakta/exakta-serial.html)

 

It's sporting an Enna Ultra-Lithagon 28mm f3.5 that I found a few years ago at a flea market. Nearby are some other various items in my collection, including a Haka Autoknips mechanical self-timer and a defunct Leicameter.

My father loved Exakta cameras. This is an early Kine Exakta, circa 1938, with a square waist-level finder attached. This is a type 1.2.2 on the Wrotniak versioning system. (www.wrotniak.net/photo/exakta/exakta-serial.html)

 

It's sporting a shiny aluminum Enna Ultra-Lithagon 28mm f3.5 that I found a few years ago at a flea market. I didn't know at the time that this lens, released in 1953, was only the second 28mm lens ever made: casualphotophile.com/2020/12/18/enna-werk-ultra-lithagon-...

 

Nearby are some other various items in my collection, including a Haka Autoknips mechanical self-timer and a defunct Leicameter. In the background are an Argus C3 and a Brownie Hawkeye. Almost lost in the bokeh are a Nikon Coolpix 900 and a Rollei A26 with the attached C26 flash, both uniquely designed compacts of their eras.

Die Solinette ist der KB Falter von 1952 aus dem Hause AGFA. So eine Kamera hat mein Vater früher benutzt. Er war immer sehr stolz das er sich damals schon für Kleinbild entschieden hat. Zumindest bei Agfa war das damals noch eine seltene Ausnahme. Kodak Deutschland hat nach dem Krieg überhaupt keine Rollfilm(120Film) Kameras mehr hergestellt. Mit allem was ich dabei zeige hat er früher so fotografiert. Sixomat, Autoknips und Watameter waren immer in der Tasche. Auch Grüngelb Filter und Drahtauslöser sind Dinge von denen ich immer wusste. Auf Diafilm mit späterer Projektion war bei ihm auch üblich. Das einzige was wirklich von seiner Ausrüstung stammt ist das AGFA Natarix, dabei handelt es sich um den Aufsatz zur Parallaxenkorrektur bei Nahaufnahmen für Sucher und Blitz.

The Solinette is the KB folding camera from 1952 made by AGFA. My father used a camera like that. He was always very proud that he had already decided to do 35mm. At least at Agfa, that was still a rare exception at the time. Kodak Germany stopped making roll film (120 film) cameras after the war. He used to take photos like this with everything I show. Sixomat( exposure meter), Autoknips(self timer), clamp tripod and Watameter(rangefinder) were always in the bag. Also green-yellow filters and cable releases are things I always knew about. On slide film with later projection was also common with him. The only thing that really comes from his kit is the AGFA Natarix, which is the close-up parallax correction attachment for the viewfinder and flash.

The Voigtländer Vito III was built between 1951 and 1956. She has installed a legendary lens, the Ultron 2.0 50mm. They were available with two clasps, Compur-Rapid and Synchro-Compur, price 340DM and 390DM, production figures approx. 15,000.

 

Here I show them with the accessories typical of the time.

Hier zeige ich sie mit dem zu der Zeit typischen Zubehör.

 

Der Selbstauslöser wurde von der Firma Heinrich Klapprott aus Hamburg erfunden.Verschiedene Modelle in

der Zeit von 1919-1980.

Vor allem in mechanischen Kameras (Spiegelreflexkameras und auch Sucherkameras) wird der Auslöseversatz mechanisch realisiert. Das geschieht durch Spannen einer Uhrwerks-Vorrichtung, die mit Hilfe von Federkraft und Zahnrädern mit Verzögerung die Auslösemechanik der Kamera betätigt. Ein mechanischer Selbstauslöser ist meist so angebracht, dass durch eine eindeutige Stellung des Hebels (o. ä.) das Ende des Zeitversatzes zu erkennen ist. Bei mechanischen Selbstauslösern ist es meist möglich, die Auslösezeit in Grenzen zu beeinflussen, d. h. zu verkürzen.

  

Autoknips V-3

-and self-timing was invented by Heinrich Klapprott from Hamburg.

the period from 1919-1980.

The trigger offset is mechanically implemented, especially in mechanical cameras (SLR cameras and also searcher cameras). This happens by tensioning a clockwork device, which operates the trigger mechanics of the camera with a delay with the help of spring force and gear wheels. A mechanical self -timer is usually appropriate in such a way that the end of the time offset can be seen through a clear position of the lever (or the like). In mechanical self -disadvantages, it is usually possible to influence the trigger time within limits, i.e. h. to shorten.

Soooooo I officially hate shooting 365's without daylight. I wanted to take some more polaroids but it was already starting to get dark. So I hurried and tried to quickly shoot some pictures but the camera wasn't agreeing with my cable release and my cable release wasn't agreeing with my autoknips so I had to scream for help and by that time it was pretty much total darkness so this was pretty underexposed. It's not quite what I had in mind but it'll have to do because I also took some digitals in crappy light and I hate those even more. Like, with a vengeance. Also, my boobs are obviously trying to take over the world and shall not be stopped. Be ready.

Autoknips selftimer

One of the cutest box-cameras I have seen, so I couldn't resist :)

 

The camera:

Lens: Altissar Periskop 1:8 (two convex lens elements)

Shutter: Rotarity shutter (1/25, B)

Film: 120, 12 frames 6x6

After a bit of use lately I found it needed a few mods. The release arm got broken twice in the last week. I have crafted a replacement in aluminium with small tab at the bottom end to allow use of a cable release. Then added a bracket for a cable release. And finally a cold shoe bracket, mostly used for flash, but also a VC-II light meter.

 

Also pictured is a Nikon SB22 flash, and an old Expo (a.k.a. Haka Autoknips) self timer.

So finally here it is! Thanks to everyone who looked at my clues over the last few days, I hope you enjoyed them ;)

 

My new toy is a Kiev 88CM medium format film camera, the design of which dates back to the 1950's. At around that time the Arsenal Factory in Kiev was at a bit of a loose end, so they decided to amuse themselves by producing an almost identical copy of the Hassleblad 1600. The Hassleblad was one of the top cemeras of the day, although not without it's problems. The Salyut (as it was then called) inherited most of them and added shocking quality control just to shake things up a bit. The camera they currently produce has gone through a number of variants before arriving at the design you see here. As best I can tell this camera was made in the last few years, it's a cloth shutter camera with the new type film backs. The big benfit for me was that it has a Pentacon Six lens mount, which means that (budget permitting) I can fit some very nice top quality German glass... !

 

I managed to scoop this complete setup from a semi professional photographer who has just made the jump to medium format digital and didn't feel the need to keep this his backup..backup set of kit! Buying a complete setup makes life a lot easier as I don’t need to buy any accessories, other than a missing lens and body cap and a neck strap I have everything I really need to have a good dabble ;)

 

I ran 1 roll of film through the camera the day after I got it, and I’ve nearly finished the second. Most of the first roll were test shots to check that all the shutter speeds work, so they are not much use, but towards the end of the roll I shot the 3 preceding shots on my photostream. They are uploaded warts and all (dust, scratches, etc.), the horse pic is not in focus... well it is, but for the grass in front of my feet!, and I also underestimated just how shallow the depth of field was in the undergrowth shot!

 

Nearly all the kit is in excellent condition and hardly used, the camera, back’s and the 80mm lens look like new, the 250mm lens is in fair condition and the 45 is a little scruffy and the foucs is a little gritty but the glass is perfect, finally one of the extension rings had a dent on it . The only poor bit of kit is the Zeiss Sonnar lens, which at some point in the past has had fungus on the outside of the front element. This unfortunately appears to have removed the coating in a couple of places. I knew that before I made the purchase and the total price reflected the fact that this lens is effectively a very nice paperweight, although it could be resurrected at some point by having the front element ground a re-coated for about £150. I’m not sure how much of a problem that the damage is going to cause, as front element lens damage generally degrades the image quality surprisingly little. So much so that chips and scratches in the front element of most lenses can be filled with black ink and the damage doesn’t show up in the photos. I will probably run a roll of film on just this lens to see how it performs as it has an amazing reputation for quality.

 

So finally the clues, they solutions are as follows (for those of you who didn't get them)

 

Clue 1, didn't really say much other than announce the challenge. Tenuously the shot is cropped square as are all the shots, why?, this camera produces a square (6X6) negative.

 

Clue 2, the Autoknip is film camera self timer for old designs of camera, so now you know it’s a film camera, and an old design.

 

Clue 3, this is the big clue, notice the film wrapper in amongst the rubbish with the paper 120 film holder band next to it, now you know it's a medium format film camera, and if you sussed out the fact that all the shots were square you know it's 6X6.

 

Clue 4, chicken "Kiev"?, so it's a "Kiev film camera", Google that and this link is the top one. That narrows it down to two cameras the 60 and the 88... although Pauls guess of "Hassleblad" just needed to go one step further to "Hasslebladski" ;)

 

Clue 5, err 88? at which point a Patrick pointed out the full model, and Paul demonstrated his knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet!

 

Lightroom: crop, auto levels, saturation +17, tweak clarity and vibrance, sharpen, brush tool to tone down a couple of highlights in the lenses, save to JPG

 

...and with all that “drivel“ out of my system, I bid you all a good night ;)

I find that I get about halfway through a film and become impatient for results; I then go out and splurge the second half on "just anything" ramdom shots, which ...as it usually turns out... might have remained untaken without loss to the totality of human happiness. Not only that, but I always seem to return to the house with one frame left in the camera and no very obvious subject on which to use it. A "selfie" is often the result, in this case taken with the aid of an Autoknips self-timer. So here I am, seen from the back of our garage. I can get the car in and out of it, just about, with six inches to spare on either side. You can't do it in one; there is always some backwards and forwards and straightening-out involved and I have to watch the mirrors. It's only a small car too. I would have liked to keep it in the garage during snow and frost, to avoid all those warmings-up, scrapings and squirtings of de-icer, but a pet-besotted neighbouring family owns horses, kept in the field off left; during the winter their van has worn the lane into two deep ruts into which the wheels of the car precipitately drop as I manoeuvre in and out. In icy conditions this could result in lateral sliding which might jam the car against the doorway of the garage. So one of the gains I envisaged when I bought the house has gone and I simply park at the front door, as on any other day. The road is not wide and everyone parks half on the pavement, which is technically illegal, of course. Our local Council has a camera car with a big sign on the back saying something like "Parking Enforcement Officer"; it goes around photographing illegally parked cars. Everyone's an "officer" these days and there is so much enforcing to be done. I spotted the car going around our streets last week. All monies paid to central or local government are taxation, of course. They don't give a monkey's whether you've parked on the pavement, driven at 35mph, or overstayed by five minutes in the Pay & Display: they just want a "legal" justification for confiscating some of your money.

A year ago there were two small shops in Norwich catering entirely to film users. The proprietors were obvious enthusiasts and one often entered to find them holding court to visiting time-wasters who'd stopped by for a chat. Their windows were crammed with secondhand film cameras and lenses; all the usual stuff ...Zorkis, FEDs, Nikon Fs Yashica MATs, Voigtländer Bessas and Zeiss Ikons. Six months ago, finding myself in the area, I stopped by for a spot of window shopping at one of these establishments. I'd once put a repair job their way, for which they'd charged £40. Peering through the dust-filmed window I saw bare shelves and a couple of dead bluebottles, belly-up, like the business itself. A fortnight ago the experience was repeated at the other shop. I'd patronised it only a month before and augmented its receipts to the tune of £15 by purchasing an "Autoknips" self-timer. Well, I'd done what I could to keep the light alight, but who am I to complain? When I want film I buy it online. All the cameras I use have come from eBay. How can these places possibly hope to survive?

This left a third business, in Cambridge. It looked altogether more robust, with premises in an alley just off the city's busy Market Hill. There was a half decent range of film for sale and the window display was about 50/50 film/digital. For my taste there were rather too many of those late film cameras that too closely resembled the early digitals that followed ...auto-zoom, auto-focus, ergonomic "grips" and little LED displays set into the top plate. Not long after I took this photo, in about April last year, the place shut down and moved to a more prestigious, tourist-frequented site opposite Kings College. Film, though still present, has been de-emphasised; one gets the impression it is a now a sideline, continued as a sentimental archaism. Time will tell. I remain convinced that film will endure, but its days on the high street are probably numbered.

These things are a fascinating study. Since youth, I've had a strictly non-expert interest in natural things and have always kept my eyes open for insects, birds, plants and other natural phenomena. I'd read of the Common Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) but, in almost a lifetime of observation, had found it anything but common. I'd never seen one until this year. But, since seeing my first a few weeks ago (see "Funny pong", a few places back in this photostream), I've come across half a dozen. Has this been a "glut" year, or have I somehow become "attuned" to seeing them since encountering my first? Something similar happened in the case of the Hummingbird Hawk Moth in the summer of 2015.

Light levels were so poor down on the forest floor on a dismal autumn afternoon, that I couldn't get a reading from my light meter. I positioned the camera on my homemade bean bag (a Bristol Omnibus Co. chute safe bag filled with chick peas) and compensated as best I could for twin-lens-reflex parallax error. I was going to use B and, for maximum possible depth-of-field, and intended to give it about three seconds. I was on Kodak Ektar ...100ASA. I reached for my cable release. There was none. I must have left it on the ground somewhere during a previous toadstooling expedition a few days before. So I finally took this with a one-second exposure, enlarging the aperture to f8, using my Autoknips clockwork self-timer ...seldom used but invaluable when necessary. I've bought a new cable release.

Must get better at taking portraits. Need some subjects other than myself as well :s Suppose this isn't too bad considering I composed using my tripod as a stand in. Testing out my new Autoknips self timer.

Westminster Cathedral (or the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

In the neo-Byzantine style. Opened in 1903. The interior mosaics unfinished (as you can see in this photo!)

 

The Lady Chapel

The rich decoration of the chapel gives a glimpse of what the completed Cathedral will be. Here, on the Feast of St Joseph in 1903, the first Mass was said in Westminster Cathedral.

Above the altar is an image of the Virgin and the child Jesus. In the centre is the Tree of Life (the Cross) symbolising not death but eternal life. From it gush fountains of living water, and its branches produce vines, the refuge for birds and other living creatures.

To the left of the Tree stands Mary, portrayed as Patroness of London, in front of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Next to her is Gabriel, archangel of the Annunciation, and a group of saints renowned for their devotion to the Virgin Mary. To the right of the Tree is St Peter, Patron of Westminster, in front of Westminster Cathedral. Beside him is the archangel Michael, and a medallion of King David.

The domed vault is marked with a wreath, containing portraits of the first four Cardinals of Westminster. Above these scenes, angels hold a garland, representing the Rosary. The tops of the window recesses bear portraits of early women martyrs: St Lucy, St Agatha, St Justine, St Cecilia and St Catherine. In the four alcoves set into the marble are represented four prophets who foretold the coming of the Messiah: Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah.

The arch at the entrance to the chapel has a Latin inscription recalling the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady: Tota pulchra es, Maria, et macula originalis non est in te (Thou art all fair, O Mary, and the original stain of sin is not in thee).
