I adjusted the body shutter release paddle on my Pacemaker Speed Graphic to reliably trip the Supermatic shutter (with 135mm f/4.7 Optar) that I'm using. Since the body release cable is a bit sticky, I've had to move the paddle so that it keeps the shutter release lever on the shutter itself halfway pressed, even at rest. Will this damage the shutter? I figure I can twist the paddle out of the way when I'm not using the camera.
