I've just obtained an Ilex No 3 Universal marked with #2,249540 & #2355825 on the back.
1] I'm having great difficulty in using the cable release - none of the three (tapered end) cable releases (with differing length of protrusion) will activate the shutter. From googling the problem it seems to be common!!
Are there any known and reliable answers??
2] The shutter came with a one 'shutter protector(??????) which was a glass disk that screws into the circa 44mm female lens thread [see images].
Assuming the shutter is used with a lens mounted behind or in front, can this glass disc be used to protect the exposed shutter blades [through the open rear or front44mm port)? Also in this case the shutter aperture would be fully open and the aperture setting on the lens(es) used.
3]Any comments and observations about using this shutter will be most welcome.
regards
Tony
