Thank you, couldn’t be clearer and rules that option out then.
Hi, sorry to ask a question that seems like it ought to have a definitive answer in all the other posts related to it but I am still left unclear. I have a copal 0 lens in broken Rollei electronic...
Looks excellent Rod, hope it goes well. I will try and get along to see it. Are you planning to be there at all ?
Anyone service a speedgraphic in the UK please ?
Thanks
Of course, I could just move the aperture ring from the old shutter ! Doh....
Peter, that is a perfect answer and very helpful. I will probably just remove the rivet for maximum aperture and not worry about minimum.
Best regards
Dave

I removed the 3 screws that release the aperture control ring. There is a small lug underneath that controls how far the aperture will open. It moved easily to open...
thanks Peter, the shutter I want to modify is the latest generation black compur 0. I haved modified several prontors but couldnt see the same mechanism.
I had an Arca 10x8 'Oschwald' and it actually quite light with an amount of plastic parts. Can be packed reasonably small on a 15cm rail laid flat in a lowepro bag. Assembly on to the tripod is...
I have quite a few bits and pieces from them and have always been very pleased with the value and quality.
Prompted by Ian I have made an error - having just checked- quite right it was a synchro-compur with chrome ring.
It is identical to the modern compur except for the synch socket which is a...
Hi there, I have re-celled a modern compur 0 shutter (150mm symmar F5.6) with a 203mm Ektar from an slightly older and u/s compur 0. Moved aperture scale OK by leaving off the flash sync from the new...
Hi there, May will still have snowy peaks if the last few years are typical. You can still get snow to low levels in May - I did when I walked the West Highland Way in 2011. Trees at low levels will...
Thanks Phil, ordered this morning. Postage is as much as from US though....
Thanks, fantastic - exactly what I was looking for.
The Marrutt has the light source on the bottom and a lid that locks down on to the back of the paper. To do the usual with a sheet of card would mean lifting up the neg and paper which are laid flat...
Hi, I am just getting started with contact printing with a CP-450. I have been pondering the best way to do a test strip as I cant do it the old fashioned way moving a bit of card. It seems...
Thanks Bob, 01S with 0 conversion (from a 90mm f5.6 SA) and its actually a 203mm Ektar but 210mm would be close enough and probably stand a chance of finding !
Anyone help me with an image of aperture scales for prontor professional shutter and a 210mm lens ? Had to re-shutter a lens.
Many thanks
Dave
Thanks Sandy, I will try that too. At the end of the day I know I have to find my own solution but I really appreciate the pointers as to what works.
Thanks Jim, I am without a darkroom at the moment but your suggestion sounds like a good one when we move permanently. I will try the compensating protocol you suggest, I can see that would work well...
Thanks Rod, a precious 2 boxes....
I haven't gone down the raw chemicals route preferring the pre bagged versions from photographers formulary at this stage. Daft really as I did a phd in...
Hi there, I need some advice please on dilution/dev time/film speed for Adox chs 25 in 8x10.
Just started a box of this, developed first 4 sheets as per the Massive Development Chart advice -...
Hi Bruce, got my order today in the UK, many thanks. For anyone wondering whether the P3 is a substantial upgrade from previous versions - I have a P1 here and the harness system and weight carrying...
Thanks all, I think I need to follow DrTang advice and actually measure the light transmission. I can do this quite easily as I have a 360mm APO Artar in a copal shutter that I can preset apertures...
My googling skills cant be up to much as I thought I would find the answer easily. I want to move a 355 G Claron out of a barrel into a spare prontor 3 shutter that came from a 240mm symmar. The...
Thanks Bob for the information. I have had smaller prontor pro shutters with lenses in the past so know of their 'quirks'. I was attracted by the '3' mainly for the shutter as I need to house a 355mm...
Ahh, thanks, that makes sense. Many thanks for the quick replies. Some measuring will confirm which.
I picked up on ebay a Schneider convertible 240mm F5.6 lens (serial 83132**) in a prontor professional 3 shutter. Thinking it was like the nikkor 240mm or rodenstock 240mm 10x8 lenses I thought...
Stumbled across this by chance - it looks remarkably like Arca Swiss have a website at last where stuff can be ordered direct...
...
Collected monitor and all working just fine now. Thank you for your help
Didn't work for me I'm afraid but thanks for the tip.
I just picked up a Scitex smart 320. All working (seen by me) and in lovely condition. Came with a mini tower mac g3 266 which also works perfectly. It was demo'd with a Mitsubishi diamond 19in CRT...
Thanks, returned for a refund
Thank you for all your insightful answers.
Outside diameter of the rear element group is 58mm.
The engraving is definitely 210mm. There are no markings at all on the rear cells at all.
The...
I purchased this lens from ebay to take the rear cell and replace my shuttered version which has some residual cleaning marks internally. The rear cells are quite different and all the other 210mm...
Thanks for your input, interestingly I have decided to keep a narrower set. 80/110/150/203/300 in shuttered lenses and a 350/460 barrels with the luc shutter. This is a nice small kit with coverage...
Thanks for your considered responses and not mocking the question. 10x8 has done something funny to my photo head - its become much more about the emotion and the character in my work and part of...
