    air activated shutter speed?

    I have a Wollensak Velostigmat series II f/4.5 12inch lens in an air activated shutter. How do you know what your shutter speed is?
    Thanks!

    I suspect people aren't answering because there are a whole bunch of shutters that use air. Which is yours?
    Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

    Re: air activated shutter speed?

    hi brad

    i have a studio shutter on a verito, is it the same kind of studio shutter ?
    depending on what you are using to run it it will run on different speeds ...
    wheni used a long throw cable release it fired at about 1 /10th S
    but i got a de groff air cylinder and it runs like a different shutter ...
    i am able to do slow exposures at like 1/10thS, faster ones at like 1/30thS
    B and T too depending on how i squeeze the bulb ...
    you can find degroff bulbs air pistons on ebay, some ornate from the early part of the 20th C
    and some new ones, some big, some small ... they aren't veyr expensive, and just need a hose and bulb ...

    good luck !
