Ensign 2 1/4B Box camera

If you were sat at home on a Sunday afternoon in 1923 you might have been to church in the morning, had your Sunday lunch and now are waiting for TV to be invented. Having family photos to look through and organise in albums and show to your neighbours might well have been a swell pastime. You need a camera of course but they are expensive, or are they?

I have the same camera, except in black and with the addition of a disc lens cap attached to the body by a cord. This helped me to take pictures on the time setting inside a cathedral; I placed the camera on any convenient flat surface.

Tablet/smartphone clamps with tripod mount should be good replacement for temporary DIY solution or hunt for random flat surfaces. Quite good at holding various rectangles.

Good ideas there, I'll certainly give that a go next time with a box camera. all the best MVC

For safety, I always unload in a dark bag. They don't always wind on tight. Guess how I know!!!
