DIY Shutter

[Ash]

Considering the basic concept and construction of the old packard shutters (in comparison to the new super-fast thousand-piece shutters available commerically), does anyone have links to DIY shutters?

I'm using the hand/lens-cap/hat/black-card methods, but its a little inconvenient having one hand tied up, and leading to inaccurate focusing due to vibrations etc.

I'm after any plans for a basic shutter than I can maybe even attach a cable release to.


As always, any help from you all is much appreciated.


Thanks

New Packards are still being made. Google will find the company. It isn't named Hub Photo anymore, IIRC.

PM me if you want a NOS packard shutter.
