EPHS Rehomed Photo Gear

  The  Tempophot Light Exposure Meter  is a handheld photovoltaic selenium cell light exposure meter manufactured by the German engineering company Metrawatt AG in Nuremberg, Germany. Originally introduced around 1935, it features a mechanical calculator dial, a built-in swivel baffle / resistor shunt for varying light conditions, and a needle indicator to determine correct film exposure. Key Features: Maker: Produced by Metrawatt AG (which later merged into Gossen-Metrawatt ). Casing Material : Features a distinct, heavy-moulded Bakelite housing. Sensory Technology : Uses a built-in selenium photocell. This cell generates its own low-voltage electrical current when exposed to light, meaning the meter does not require batteries to function. Baffle / Shunt Control: A side button adjusts the meter cell mechanism, allowing the needle to point to specific indicator numbers on an internal scale. Calculator Dial: ...

  The Houghton-Butcher Box Ensign 2¼ B Camera is a box camera produced in the United Kingdom in 1923. Originally introduced in 1912 under the name Box-Form, this camera was extensively revised in 1923, which added features like a fold-out wire viewfinder and rear-loading capabilities, and renamed the Box Ensign 2 ¼ B. The 2¼ B name actually refers to the Ensign film size designation, which is fully compatible with 120 roll film. Key Features: Film Format: Takes eight 2¼ “ x 3¼ “ exposures on 120 roll film. Lens: Fixed-focus meniscus achromat lens. Apertures: Three aperture settings roughly equivalent to f /11, f /16, and f /22. Shutter: Simple mechanical rotary shutter running at a fixed instantaneous speed of roughly 1/30s to 1/50s and Time (T) settings. Viewfinders: Two waist-level reflex viewfinders, with a folding wire-frame sports finder. Body: Wood or fiberboard frame covered in textured black leatherette.    ...
