  6. Re: Modern Compur 0 shutter - maximum aperture opening adjustment ?

    Peter, that is a perfect answer and very helpful. I will probably just remove the rivet for maximum aperture and not worry about minimum.

    Thanks Bob, 01S with 0 conversion (from a 90mm f5.6 SA) and its actually a 203mm Ektar but 210mm would be close enough and probably stand a chance of finding !
