First time caller... Newbie question, so please bear with me. I am waiting on my Travelwide (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wanderlust/travelwide-45-camera) camera and looking for a 90mm lens for it. On the Kickstarter site, most of the compatibility discussion for lenses is around f/stop; there is only one small reference to a Copal #0 shutter. I have found an Angulon 90mm f/6.8 but with Compur 0 shutter; is that likely to be compatible. I have written it the makers of the camera but haven't heard back.

Thank you in advance.

yes.

As Vinny says, it's the lens the camera's designed for. Copal followed the #0 and other sizes that Compur & Prontor had agreed on with German lens manufactures around the end of the 1920's.
