Hi, I have problem,
I need mount Symmar-S 240/5.6 to COPAL#3 shutter
but in front side is screw too deep and i can't mount it beacause Symmar's thread don't reaches the thread in the Copal and can't deeper because of the two silver circles.
I think I would have removed the circles, but how? When i search by google, i found only copals without this circles
Or how mount lens to shutter?
thanks

I understand this correctly (on base this (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=70381)) that the ring I just put out by screwdriver?
I really didn't want to destroy...
Using a good caliper, measure the front to back length of the shutter. It should be 28,6mm.
If it's longer, then there have probably been adapters installed in the shutter.

Try pulling it out with your fingernails.

Standa,
it is a decorative ring...it may be "pressed" into place, in which case you can pry it out (carefully) or more likely, I think, it is screwed in place. I suggest you try a thin pair of rubber gloves for extra grip, and try to use your fingers like a spanner to unscrew this ring....

OK, check my photo.....the thread outlined in BLUE are the 58mm x 0.75 lens cell mounting threads, the threads outlined in RED are the (unmeasured) trim mounting threads.
Best of luck,
Tracy
