Sorry for asking as I did read up on this quite a bit but haven't been able to find a confirmation on what I'm trying to do. I have a Fujinon 90mm/f8. Wonderful lens! Until it had a love affair with the pavement back in January. I was pretty gutted. Optics are compromised (the bokeh looks...weird) but the shutter seems like it's ok.
I bought a Schneider 90mm/f8 to replace it. The lens itself is pretty lovely. The shutter though is rather laggy. I'm thinking of having it CLA'd but it may not be ready by the time I'll be taking a trip and will want to use it. Both lenses go down to f45, both use Copal 0's. They are of very similar design but of course different brands.
I removed the shutter from the Fujinon and didn't see any spacers. I haven't tried that on the Schneider yet. In reading up the main thing I need to worry about is that the aperture scale may be shifted, correct? Would this be true for lenses which are so similar to each other as well?
If so, is there a good way to somehow verify that? I was thinking of somehow taking a light reading through the groundglasss of my camera, swapping the shutters, and taking the same readings to see if they matched. But that doesn't seem super scientific.
