Got a Heliar 360mm lens couple of years ago, since then I have been thinking about using Sinar shutter on my Chamonix 8X10. I had some discussion with the owner of Chamonix, and came up with a solution. It is not perfect, but it uses the sinar shutter in the most natural way.
The Chamonix uses a removable front standard, which could be a bad thing or a good thing, in this case an advantage.
I bought a sinar front standard, and kept only the frame, and had the factory build a U shape frame around the sinar frame. And I had the factory made a bellow connects to the back of sinar shutter.
Lens -> Front standard with sinar frame-> Sinar shutter->Bellow->rear standard.
There is one disadvantage, due to the long sinar shutter release cable, the frame can not tilt up, the movement which I don't really need. It has all other movements.
Overall, I like this configuration. I will upload photos tonight.
