Sorry if I've missed search results, but can't find the answers I need. I have a Carl Zeiss Jena Nr Tessar 1:4.5 15cm lens -with a Compur shutter ,shutter speeds T,B and up to 200. I need a retainer ring for this lens which is 39cm. I have enlarger lens retainers, but they will start and then stop,like the threads on the lens are bunged up. I checked the lens threads and they look fine.I applied only gentle finger pressure while doing this for I've learn a long time ago "if it doesn't fit, do not force it". I've gotten a little confused looking at charts , but have came to the conclusion that this lens takes a special retainer ring ? If so, where can i purchase one ? I picked up a view camera for a little of nothing and decided to give it a try, so I know relatively nothing. I've used 35mm and medium format.
My second question is- how do I attach a shutter release to this shutter ? All speeds sound good to my ears.Aperture is smooth. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks-tom
