I got a nice little Bausch and Lomb 5 inch Cinephor lens from Jim Galli. With a super fast aperture I needed some kind of shutter so I decided to go with a front-mounted Packard #6. When I was gathering information on how to mount the shutter I didn't see a lot of pictures posted of this kind of setup so I figured I would share mine.
Here's the rundown of how I did it:
Drill a hold in the lens board that would hold the lens with a tight fit
Attached a PVC plumbing fitting to the lens board with epoxy (note: this is fairly permanent)
Mounted the lens with hot glue. The front of the lens is flush with the PVC.
Mounted the shutter with hot glue
The bulb is for filling pipettes. I had it laying around so I used it. I drilled a hole in the back side to be able to use the proper thumb technique.
The rubber tubing is for physiotherapy. I got it at the medical supply store for a few bucks and it works great.
So there you go. It's not that pretty but it works just fine.
