Self timer on old camera
I have a photo of my family dated 1948. We've been going over the
photo to determine who is who. We are having a difficult time trying to figure out who took the picture. One of my brothers said that maybe the camera had a self timer. My question: When did self timers become available on cameras? |

Self timer on old camera
Self timers, rubber bulb releases, Speed Graphics with
solenoid shutter releases and clever kluges with strings and levers have been around a long time. My Mom's old folding Kodak has a cable release socket (first serious camera I used--it had f/stops and shutter speeds) and it predates your photo. Consider also that it could have been a relative or neighbor that made the shot, my wife's family had a similar riddle until we asked an older family member. darkroommike wrote: I have a photo of my family dated 1948.
