Want to Buy Prontor Professional Timer

davido · Feb 15, 2015

I'm looking for a Prontor Professional Timer. I just recently found out about these neat gadgets and now I WANT ONE!
I have attached a picture of the most recent model, though there is an older model which seems more common.

Hi davido,

Good luck with your seach.

These are neat, that's for sure. But the time range is too short to be really useful when you will need it most.

As soon as you need a 2 seconds exposure, you will consult a reciprocity chart, realize you are on a tripod and really want f/16 and now you need a two minutes exposure and you are already out of range of this gadget.

I have an earlier model and use it often for the around 30-s exposures but more often Iuse a mechanical stop watch,which are increasingly difficulr to find.I found mine at Selfridges in Londonfor $500.Wowwhat a store!
