I notice that some LF lenses come with your own choice of shutter.
Why?
I have a grid here showing the differences between Copal and Prontor shutters. C an someone explain what the differences mean in real life, and whether I should care...
<TABLE> <TR><TH>Feature<TH>Copal<TH>Prontor <TR><TD>Exposure time<TD>B.T. 1/500-1<TD> B.1/250-1 <TR><TD>Shutter<TD>Cocking shutter<TD>Self-cocking shutter <TR><TD>f stops<TD>No<TD>Yes <TR><TD>Necessary equipment<TD>None<TD>central remote control unit (mechanical) </TABLE>
Am I likely to pay more for one or the other? How much more? Do most people care which shutter they get?
