Hey everyone ,

First time posting been a lurker on the board for years,

I have a Schneider 210 / 370 convertible LF in a copal no 1 shutter that I bought off eBay years ago, but it does not have an aperture scale. There is a blank scale where it is supposed to go. The previous owner scratched a couple of f stops in to it. But I was hoping someone might have a copy of that lens and could provide a photo of the aperture scale? I do not know if it has a scale for the 210mm and for the 370mm portions.

Thanks

I have one...sorry no easy way to upload photo at the moment, maybe later. But - there are two plates...one on the face and one on the edge of the shutter. The markings for the 210 stops are about 0.18" apart on the face and 0.20" apart on the side. The markings for 370 are the same distances apart, except the first gap from f/12 to f/16 is about 0.11" on the face and .13" on the side.

When reading this post, I was wondering as I have that scale on my Compur shutter, whether if it would be compatible on a Copal shutter.

Or is nothing that simple?

Just a question of curiosity, as it is not relevant to me at this time...
