Hello all :)
I hope to reach someone more knowledgable about this lens and its shutter than me. I inherited it along with some other LF gear from my girlfriends deceased grandfather, so I can't really ask him, the original owner. The full name of the lens is: Rodenstock Grandagon 1:5.6 F=80mm (thats what it says on the front element)
My two questions: Does anyone have picture (or own an actual copy) of this lens? I feel pretty sure that the shutter mine is mounted in isn't the original. I base this on the few good pictures I've been able to find on the net and the fact that its elements doesn't really "fit" the shutter (it's hard to explain better than that, I'm afraid). I also base it on the fact that there's two rows of aperture values - one in white, one in yellow (see picture) - does anyone know which lens this shutter might have come from?.
I hope that some of the learned members of this site will be able to help me :)
EDIT: forgot the pic!
