Shutters Any Kind

[Tin Can]

I really like my 3" Packard

It easily fires quickly at 50 feet about 1/30 and flash does sync

What’s the red hose? Fifty feet is impressive.

Thanks!

I have never tried mine at 50 feet but it fires very consistently at 20 feet. 1/30 seconds for any lens I want to use it with.

Do the current ones work as well as the old ones?

I bought 2 new hose set with new bulbs direct from Packard Co still in business, 2 years ago

His hose and Bulb are superior

Buy from him only

[Tin Can]

Yes

The smaller hole is better

I prefer behind lens as then I can use one shutter

Thanks! Good that some products don’t become industrialized and still work as they have for a long time.

On the topic of Air fire shutters I have a Studio shutter that opens and closes with the manual level fine but seems like it would take an air compressor to actually open the shutter otherwise. I tried with a high quality Packard Bulb and Tube and nada, just won't open. Is this normal for these shutters?

Mine looks just like the one in the picture at the top and fires with authority using bulb and hose.
