Tachihara 10x8" + Sinar Copal shutter modification

[JBAphoto]

The purpose of this modification is to allow the use of my Sinar Copal Shutter on my Tachihara 10x8" camera. This modification serves two functions, firstly it allows barrel mounted lenses to be used in the field and to bypass the use of the shutters in my antiquated 10x8" lens set with the accurate and consistent Sinar Copal Shutter. Crucial to the modification is the ability to to return the camera to a bog standard Tackyhara 10x8"

Hi,

Do you have more details how to make this mod. I´m planning to buy Tachihara 8x10" field and I have also Sinar Copal shutter. Thank you very much.

Raidahl, if you are still interested I will send you the pix. There is huge logic to placing the shutter behind the front standard. However this means finding a Sinar front frame, from a set of leaking Sinar bellows, and removing the aperture setting device on the Sinar Shutter, done from the outside edge with care. There are two screws to remove and a sort of twisting motion to unhood the aperture rod thing from the aperture winding knob
