So the speeds were starting to get a bit erratic on the Compur 00 on my SA 90mm f8. I decided to have the shutter CLA'd, but I didn't want to be without the SA while it was being done.
I scouted out everbodies favorite auction site for another Compur, but found a cheap, very simple Kodak 00 shutter instead. The original plan was to sell the interim shutter, but I've actually grown to like this little thing quite a bit. There's a certain beauty to its simplicity. Besides I've got about $20 tied up in it, including shipping, so I think I'll just keep it in case it ever has to perform substitue duty again.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if there was a cheap lens that I could throw in there just to play with (and keep the thing exercised a bit). The crazier it is, the more I'd like it. I'd also like something on the cheaper side since it is just kind of a toy anyways.
So what's out there that I could look to put in this bugger?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
