Howdy group!
I just got my Synchro-Compur shutter (#1 I think) back from the repair shop - it was on a Scheinder 150/265 convertable I picked up from E-bay - it needed cleaning & lube. I was hoping the Large Format books I bought would answer my questions (soz I wouldn't look like a rank novice!), but they didn't, so while the shutter is here in front of me I'll admit what I don't know about the Compur....
Next to the flash socket, there is a lever marked "X" on one position and "M" on the other. I'm guessing it something to do with flash sync??? What do the X and the M stand for?
Second question: Between the shutter cocking lever and the little tab to open the aperture there is a small button. What's this button do?
Thanks folks!
