Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I just resurrected a Agfa B2Commander probably made in the 1940s???

Does anyone have or know where I could purchase a mechanical shutter release cable?

I have tried a couple at the local photo shop and none seemed to screw in to the whole on top.

I have actuated the camera by inserting a paperclip into the whole now all I need is one that mate up wit the whole in top of camera and screw in.

Thank you,

Joe

Give yourself an Xmas gift and order a Nikon AR-3. Silky smooth, lockable and durable. Around $18.
 
Doesn't the shutter release button work?
 
Expert on Agfa.... www.certo6.com , go to website and find the guys email, send him a note, he will respond. I bought a reasonably priced Isolette II from him that he superbly refurbished.
 
I had two of those until just last year. I seem to remember that I gave them away. Sorry.
 
He probably wants to minimize camera movement by using a cable release.

I know why cable releases are used.

Would it be all right with you if we let HIM answer the question?

Unless the Agfa is an odd size, you find find them all over the internet. I plugged in mechanical shutter release cable into Amazon and a ton of them came up.

Yes, well I hope it does, I just sent first roll of film shot thru this camera in a long time.

I want to shoot off of a tripod and want to minimize camera movement by using a cable release when shooting low ISO film. Also since I am 61 years old and not as steady as I once was and 250/sec is highest shutter speed movement will always be a factor.


Thanks for question.

Well, there you go! That is exactly what I thought. Obviously you would want to minimize camera shake when you want to use a slow shutter. I was right. Sorry that I don't have one to send you.
 
Yes, Designer, you correctly guessed the obvious reason that we already knew.

You must be very proud.

I feel like I am missing something here? What's the deal?

Just a little locker room banter. :)
