I have a Turner-Reich triple convertible for 4x5 that has a malfunctioning aperture. It has been set wrong so wide open is only half open in reality--the aperture moved smoothly to all the way closed from that point, and probably would open smoothly too if the lever had room to move.
Shutter sounds about right on speeds. Pict below.
A few questions:
1) Is this lens worth anything (money-wise)? Should I sink money/time into fixing it? I've been watching e-bay for a month or so but haven't seen one of these go by.
2) Does this lens fit any other shutters--a standard Graphex size perhaps? Maybe I could just buy another shutter?
3) Any recommendations on repair places? The Flutots place people recommend is not taking new business, Grimes is higher priced (and for some reason seems to have an attitude on e-mail...who else?
Thanks,
