Question about the Rolleiflex self timer

[nglester]

<p>Hello guys, i am new here. Always been a big fan of B&Ws, especially ww2 war photographs.<br>

Finally got myself my 1st film camera, took it straight for a service and got it back a few weeks ago. It's a 2,8, not perfect but in mint condition and unfortunate a non working light meter.<br>

I would like to learn how the self-timer works, i read the manual and even did some research already on you tube but without success. </p>

<p>I am going to Morocco this holiday and would be great if you guys can give me some advice for my trip.</p>

<p>thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Nothing to it--you cock the self timer lever, press the shutter release button and, about 10 seconds later, the shutter fires.</p>

<p>:o oh, so i just pull that little handle 180 degree down and thats it? <br>

Gonna try it out later.<br>

Thanks robert</p>

<p>Just tried it, couldn't get it all the way down to 180 degree, but roughly 20 degree to the left.<br>

Like you said, i got around 8-10 sec. Self timer seems to be working ok! <br>

Again, thanks for the lesson robert!</p>

<p>20 degrees is okay, do not pull more</p>

<p>thanks for the confirmation harry.</p>
