I picked up a couple Olympus Micro Zuiko lenses. They have a Copal shutter whose threads measure about 0.95" in diameter (definitely less than 1"). Looking up the thread size listed for a Compur 00 gives a size of 26.3mm. The shutter doesn't have a lever release, only a socket for a cable release. I would guess these lenses were made in either the 50's or 60's.
Did Copal make shutters in the 00 size?
Pictures of one of these is on the auction site item 320277112658.
The lenses have a dovetail mounting ring on the shutter. They were probably used on a microscope but I have no idea if they were used in conjunction with a photo eyepiece. Although I have a significant accumulation of Olympus gear, I've never even heard of these before.
