NO!


You need to work out what camera it is on.

[Jan K.]

Google has run out of pictures... final guesses will be something like a build-it-yourself camera?

Or a simple LOMO "thing"?

Far from a build-it-yourself camera, I actually have 3 of these!

....not LOMO either.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Shutter speed dial? Film rewinder knob...?

Neither of these are right but they are the closest guesses yet

......but I need the part and camera right as otherwise it is too easy!

110 instamatic film advance ?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

110 instamatic film advance ?

Older than that........

Film advance dial?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Film advance dial?

Sorry, Em, not one of those. :nono:

 

[Nod]

Tripod mount locking thumbwheel?

 

[shotokan101]

I think that was one of the early guesses....

 

[Jan K.]

Lens on polaroid camera?

Or - for that matter - any other knob on polaroid camera.

 

[Jan K.]

Or a flex camera? Folding?


Yes. Yes, these exist too... tunnel vision... dehydated... must sleep...

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Tripod mount locking thumbwheel?

I think that was one of the early guesses....

Tripod thumbscrew?

It was!

...and was wrong then too!

Lens on polaroid camera?

Or - for that matter - any other knob on polaroid camera.

YES!

.....it is a knob, but I need to know what it does.

.....but not on a polaroid camera

Or a flex camera? Folding?


Yes. Yes, these exist too... tunnel vision... dehydated... must sleep...

Not a folder or flex but right era.

Sleep well and return refreshed

 

[Nod]

Over it comes.....

Well, I tried!

 

[Tigger.ufo]

It is there, you just have to expand it!

Try harder and have a guess!

Nope!

Right, I have done less of a crop, so hopefully it may help!

 

[Nod]

Film door lock?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Film door lock?

Afraid not. :nono:

 

[Farmerjim]

Brownie 127 film advance? No..........Something old and plastic tho'

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Shutter speed dial? Film rewinder knob...?

....and it is not a film advance.....

Film advance dial?

Brownie 127 film advance? No..........Something old and plastic tho'

:bang: .....it is old and quality metal though!

 

[Jan K.]

Is the screw holding an accessory piece of a kind...? Like flash...

Or is it a magazin for batteries?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Is the screw holding an accessory piece of a kind...? Like flash...

Or is it a magazin for batteries?

Neither of those Jan.:nono:

....but I will refresh your memory1

Shutter speed dial? Film rewinder knob...?

Is it a dial on a camera or camcorder at all?

I'm running out of dialing options and my head hurts!

What is the main control you are missing, which is on virtually every camera?

......and I will accept the type of camera rather than the specific model.....

 

[Rob 80386]

Is it an ISO/ASA selection wheel?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Is it an ISO/ASA selection wheel?

Simpler even than that, Em!

 

[Nod]

Aperture dial?

On/Off switch (Which for the purposes here includes a shutter button lock!)

Shutter cocking lever?

 

[Farmerjim]

Focus wheel on a TLR?

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Aperture dial?

On/Off switch (Which for the purposes here includes a shutter button lock!)

Shutter cocking lever?

One of these is right, but you haven't told me what camera!

Focus wheel on a TLR?

.......sooooo close, Jim!
