Is there anyway to mount the lens on a modern shutter like copal? total newbie to brass lens.

It can be done, but you will find it easier to front mounta shutter to a petzval or similar lens. Jon

Getting a lens mounted into a shutter will take a machinist, or some glue and duct tape. Putting a shutter in front can be done yourself...with glue and duct tape. Either should cut off the light equally.

The a LUC shutter,Sinar shutter Packard shutter none will get the job done w/out ND filters ((( Most of the time)))

I can't stress enough how you will need ND filters to shoot film wide open w/ any shutter I have mentioned

If you take a 25 ASA Film you are just fine with a 1/60 sec. of a Sinar shutter in my opinion!
