    If your lens has a flange & can be mounted to a lens board, you might be able to use it with a Packard (pneumatic) shutter, or a Pickard (roller-blind) shutter. I made a frame to front-mount a Packard to my Petzvals similar to this.

    You could use always use a hat with that barrel lens. 4x5 lenses in working shutters aren't hard to find. nor are they necessarily expensive and likely cheaper if your Wollensak requires any machining to have it mounted to a shutter.
