The date is shortly before June 1938, which is when the photographer of this image, Lawrence Smith, dropped out of the camera club to be married. The camera is a Kodak Duo-620 Series II, a medium-format, scale-focus, folding camera introduced in June 1937. The attachment on the lens is a filter adapter ring with a Kodak lens shade.
