Guest Bernd Banken Posted February 8, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2007 Outboard engines like British Seagull have it until today;) I guess it's a fast winding device later known as Leicavit... Cheers Bernd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 8, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2007 It's a very early German yo-yo. The design took some years to perfect. This was one of the earlier, less successful, designs. Just as you can now buy a phone with a built in camera, Leitz had decided to try and corner the market in camera yo-yos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimF Posted February 8, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 8, 2007 Hi Bill, Its a device for (slightly) remote film advance and shutter release, coded OOFRC, and first introduced in 1935. It was last catalogued in 1939. Obviously the camera needs to be tripod mounted. The photographer operated the contraption by pulling on one string (the one closest to the camera and disappearing behind it in your photo - which should actually be white) to fire the shutter, and on the other one to advance the film and retension the shutter. All information from Lager III, pp52. (The other answers are much funnier! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bernd I had no girls I had no sex but from my father an old Ikoflex ... nice poem ... is from your brain?

Guest Bernd Banken Posted February 8, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 8, 2007 in the german Forum @Leica Freund had this slogan ended with "Rolleiflex" which sounds better. But my father could only afford the Zeiss Ikoflex the cheaper version. I guess he gave up after 2 or 3 rolls of film and the camera rested for many years in my parents sleeping room. The Compur shutterblades got corroded s that the camera is on the shelf in my living room. Cheers Bernd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canfred Posted February 10, 2007 Share #15 Posted February 10, 2007 Ha ha, only a Leica fanatic would know about British Seagull motors. They are the same breed... This may be so Bill , but British Seagull no longer makes engines.Much to my regret actually, I used them on my sailing tender for years. Is the breed now dying out?

Guest flatfour Posted February 10, 2007 Share #16 Posted February 10, 2007 Can Leica users be so dim That when they're out on shoots They have to change the lens a lot When they could use their boots With apologies to Cartier-Bresson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
