I recently obtained a Linhof Technika Focal Plane Shutter. I believe it is quite a rare, sought-after item, though it has the dubious distinction of being unreliable. Anyway, I can't seem to use B or T. The other speeds appear to be working, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I don't have a Technika now, so there's no way for me to actually test it.

Anyone know anything about it?

Jo Lommen would know. He's got access to one. Or wait ... it's either him or John D Vries. That Aero Ektar guy.

So, what's the answers you received?

A focal plane shutter can be a real asset with barrel lenses!

Asher, I've been travelling this last month, and I haven't had time to write to either of the gentlemen. I will write in a couple of days.
