After exposure a built-in cutter cuts the paper and it drops into a developing tank below for 3 minutes as timed with an attached sand timer. with flash cube socket, stand in the form of a pipe and manhole cover, anamorphic distorting lens attachment, and paper masks and props for costume photographs.
