What shutter for my old lens?

[massimo.stirner]

Hello,

I'm wonder if anyone of you could help me to find a shutter for my old lens Zeiss Tessar Jena 25cm/4.5 nr.304253.
Lensboard hole is about 75mm.

Thanks.

From looking at the Zeiss catalogues at cameraeccentric, I can see that shutters were available for this size - both Compur and Compound shutters. So you could screw the front and rear cells into one of these. Other people know sizes - I don't! If you have a number of lenses this size, you could mount a shutter in front which would fit other lenses as well - shutter speeds are restricted on this type.

Most likely a Compound #4. I have a 240mm f/4.5 Xenar in one.

Cheers, Steve

Tube length matters. Not all Compound 4s have the same tube lengths, front and rear.
