I was wondering what's involved in mounting a packard shutter to my camera. I ha ve a Calumet CC400, and I'm using a Schneider Xenar 300/4.5. I looked at hubphot o's packard page, and it looks like I'd have to use the 3.5" diameter one to fit the lens (3.25" rear diameter), but I can't imagine how I'd fit the whole 6x6" apparatus inside the camera! Would it be easier to mount the shutter in front of the lens (seems dangerous)? Any other low-cost alternatives? The cost of shutte red lenses at tele lengths tends to be prohibitive. I've been using the "hat tri ck" (the polaroid box, actually), and that becomes rather cumbersome, and the ba llet involved becomes a serious obstacle when I'm trying to connect with a portr ait sitter. Plus it would be nice to be able to shoot outside... How can I shutt er my lens? Thanks...
