I'm starting the hunt for a Fujinon W 210/5.6, the old single coated version with the markings inside the filter ring. The version with the 352mm IC to cover 8x10. Someone was just discussing this lens here the other day - It's marked "W S" in the filter ring and mounted in a Seiko shutter, as many of these are.
My question is: Does anyone know whether the lens element threads for the W S version are the same for the W version and can the W S be fitted directly into a Copal 1 shutter? I'm looking at one of these lenses in a Seiko shutter now, but I've heard the Seiko's can get pretty expensive to service and even more expensive to replace, should the need arise. I'd really prefer to get this lens in a Copal shutter in the first place to avoid possible issues.
I just need to know if anyone has any personal experience with this particular lens and whether the threads are the same ('twixt the WS and the W) so it can be directly mounted into a Copal 1 shutter.
I'd also be willing to talk turkey if somebody happens to have a nice copy they'd consider selling! :)
