Hello again,
I wonder if anyone has knowledge of the Ilex #5 shutter size range. I'm assuming there are numerous varieties of the shutter.
I do already know the Kodak Portrait lens 305mm has a physically different shutter to the one with the Caltar 375mm f6.3 lens - even though it be an Ilex #5. The front thread on the Portrait is a weeny bit smaller than the thread on the Caltar.
The reason I'm asking is because I want to mount a lens into the shutter and I'd like to get expensive machining work completed on a shutter that I might be able to get a replacement for. I'd like to think I might buy a shutter and have a reasonable chance of it being the same as the one I might break.
Ahhh for standards ! (ISO and metric for my tastes!)
Cheers,
Steve
