    Outstanding modification Will. I especially like that you can effortlessly remove the sinar shutter to use lenses already mounted in operational shutters. Great flexibility; ingenious. Congrats!

    Super-duper cool. And that's the official technical term.

    That's my old camera- you can see the bellows patched with 'liquid electrical tape' in the first photo. Brilliant concept, Will, and great execution. Best of luck with it!

    Ability to use Cookes, Heliars, Darlots, Petzvals and a multitude of other lenses on a field camera with a reliable shutter: priceless.
    No kidding! Thanks for the detailed photos. I almost purchased a KMV last year, and now, I'm kicking myself!

    I'm not familiar with Sinar system so I'm sorry for my silly question, but that rear of the front standard (which is able to attach either bellows only or the shutter) was a part of Sinar front standard or you made it?

    "A new panel was made which was slightly thicker to accommodate the deeper light trap design of the Sinar board. The new panel is a direct replacement for the original."
    From the original post.
    Will designed it and had it made at a machine shop.
