It's Russian, I know that much. There are a couple on ebay. Can I trust them to work, and has anyone opened one up to fix?

Also has anyone made payments through "2checkout" ?? I see no SSL certs or anything, I'm not sure I wanna trust my card details through them. I got this link for paying details http://www.tobacco10.com/ris/PayAll.htm and the seller has a really high feedback in the thousands..

What do you think?

Value?

Ash, it's either a unaweirda or a wonnafunkyolda. I'd have to see the back. Isn't this the shutter the Russians send into space. Couldn't be any worse than a myoldapackarda that I'm forever bragging about. Sorry buddy, I'm no help at all. :p :D

[Ash]

Jim, that helps a little....well it doesnt help at all but still :D

Thing is, it's half the price of a brand new Packard from Reno (about $90-ish vs $160), and if it has those speeds 'working', it may be more use on the field camera as well. I'm torn, I know the Packard will work as it's NOS and comes will two bulbs, tubing, warranty etc etc. But at half the price and possibly more functions. Hmm..

Is that one of the shutters that blyatnikov is selling?

If so, I have only good experiences with buying from him. Even using the 2checkout I've had no problems at all. :)

[Ash]

Yes it is Ole. He has two available and I'm trying to decide if it's worth buying one :)

Any idea on the 2checkout exchange rate?

I have bought from Eastern countries using, I think, 2checkout and had no problems at all. I have one of these shutters and it works fine, though noisily.

Noise is no problem to me, the Leica/Rollei are for quiet shutters :)
