I do not own a Sinar camera, but there seem to be many Sinar Auto-Aperture / behind-the-lens type shutters showing up on eBay lately at reasonable prices. I currently have a few large format / ULF cameras that I have all standardized to use Sinar lensboards and I am interested in using one of these Sinar shutters in place of the traditional Packard shutter for shooting with barrel mounted lenses.
The question: Can the Sinar behind-the-lens automatic shutters be used with any camera (assuming you can attach them to the front standard) or are there other parts on a Sinar camera that make them Sinar-only compatible? Do these shutters simply mount in place the same as a lensboard or are they attached to a Sinar camera's front standard in another fashion?
Many thanks in advance.
