The Manual Option

Mastering the Land Camera Manually.

Sometimes you just want more control over your shots than your Automatic Land Camera can provide. The aperture priority nature of the camera doesn’t give you much control when trying to do multiple exposures or shooting odd lighting situations. The only option is to find yourself a manual camera model like the 180 or 195. Which will not only be expensive, but so will keeping the shutter running properly with CLAs and repairs.

There has to be another option.

Now there is a Manual Option!

Either send your camera to me for modification or you may purchase an already complete and refurbished model.

Available for all the Automatic Models 100 to 450 and every one in-between. The camera is given a whole new life as an electronically controlled manual camera. A rotating knob replaces the electric eye with 10 shutter speeds including BULB. An LED lights up to tell you the shutter is ready to fire and turns off when the exposure is complete.

When using BULB mode, press the button once to open, press it again to close. No need to hold down the red shutter button anymore! Making long exposures much easier.

All Manual Options have up to SIX aperture settings.

Under or over exposed images or black photos? No problem!
THIS CONVERSION CAN BE DONE EVEN ON MOST BROKEN CAMERAS.

If you would like to try different colors for the front and top plates, let me know!
