  • Features: The Haka Autoknips is a mechanical self timer, made by Friedo Wiesenhavern and Heinrich Klapprott in Hamburg, Germany. The need for selfies is almost as old as photography itself. The majority of old analog film cameras, especially in the medium format branches, are missing one thing: a built in self timer. The first Haka Autoknips (Modell 1) was introduced in the early 1920's. The idea itself is even a little bit older: A simple clockwork mechanism, pulling down a release of an ordinary cable release.
  • Details: This is a Vintage Haka Autoknips 1 Self Timer for Shutter Release and has age-related usage marks. Mechanical action is still strong. It has been UVC sanitised. Please study the high-resolution photos closely to evaluate the condition as pictures speak louder than words. I'm no expert, so feel free to request any specific additional photos or questions about the piece/lot so as to be sure about what you may be looking to buy. This is an ideal item for an avid collector or fan of antique or vintage cameras & accessories.
  • Package Includes: Haka Autoknips Model 1, Aluminium Carry Box, Aged / Fragile Instruction Paper
