New Darkroom Timer

[Pitotshock]

Sorry in advance, but I just had to.

This wonderful new device is now on the market thanks to our friends in China and their manufacturing prowess. I give you your next darkroom timer. Only $41.64

Vendor Description: "Genuine Qihe card QH-3A darkroom electronic digital display exposure timer Great Wall film and television monopoly"

I had to look up what DADDISH meant so I searched the Urban Dictionary for the definition: "someone who isn't exactly old but acts/reminds you of your dad. i went on a date, and the guy was a total dud...very daddish"

So, I guess after you are done changing your DADDISH, you press the ALL-PURPOSE BUTTON and your monopoly over television begins???

Hilarious!

Is that for real?

Is that for real?

Yes. I found it on one of the Chinese websales sites.

I wonder if the Daddish function runs time forward to change people into Dads, or backward time backwards to change Dads into real people again.

It seems like they’re making large format cameras as well.

Dad’s can never be changed into real people again! Just ask me, I am a dad (and I have one)!

That all-purpose button could be useful.

Maybe the idea behind its designation is that it as well starts & stops exposing.

Shen Hao has been making large format cameras for a long time. http://www.shen-hao.com/about.aspx?type=gywm&id=n2.
But the timer isn't a Shen Hao Product although both a sold at Aliexpress

A technological coup.

With a timer with such capabilities on the market I can see no reason to continue production of the DA timer. [insert smiley face as needed]

I just want to know if there are plugs on the back.
I wonder what they would call a foot switch?
