Yes, someone already did it. https://www.timlaytonfineart.com/blog/2019/11/sinar-copal-shutter-adapted-to-fit-my-8x10-chamonix-view-camera

heavy lenses could be a problem, but thightening the...

You are absolutely right. It is a problem. I think mounting the shutter behind the front plate between the bellows and the front plate is a better solution.

And here's the copal shutter attached to the camera: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MAGtPsp5K1HuFcoVYZ-nd7GUg632yXa4/view
It fits better upside down.

With the iris Board before:

I can confirm that the Svedovsky takes the Sinar Board. The Chamonix Iris Board fits perfectly. The Sinar Copal Shutter is on its way.

It looks like the Svedovsky accepts it, so I will give it a try in combination with the Iris lens board from chamonix. Like this I could have a system with a universal board/shutter that accepts most...

Thanks for your concern :).
First of all, the svedovsky cost me 2000 Euro ( I have ordered it 6 months ago), new. I don't know where you got the 4100 price from...

Yes, no mention of the shutter, hence my remark that I would have to look into it. I don't know if the lensboard size has anything to do with the shutter compatibility. Shutters seem to go...

This isn’t meant as publicity, but here’s some comments on the stability of the Svedovsky and the compatibility with Sinar: http://svedovsky.com/svedovsky-8x10-first-look/

I have a Svedovsky 8x10 which is quite sturdy. It comes with 140mm x 140mm lensboards which seem to be Sinar size. According to Svedovsky they are likely to fit.
Why 8x10? Because I can do contact...

It seems that the Compound V shutter is the way to go. I also have to read about the Sinar... (apparently lens barrel is 90mm)
Here is some interesting stuff I have found:

Hi,

I recently started in LF and got myself a 8x10 camera. I been reading a lot, but obviously I still got a lot to learn as well. First of all, this forum is a great resource, so thanks to all...

I will do contact prints and want to do wet plate as well. The examples I have seen online of 8x10 appeal more to me than 4x5. I have considered all pro’s and con’s and I guess in the end 8x10 won ;)

Hi all,

I’m just starting with LF and have been reading a lot the last 14 days... I’m one of those all-in people and after consulting (on this forum), I ordered a Svedovsky 8x10. Of course I also...

Hi,

After some research I've decided to jump to 8x10. The order for a Svedovsky is on the way. I probably only have a faint idea of what I'm getting into, but I decided to start of with just doing...

Awesome! Thank you very much. Personally I would have used rotary knobs to control contrast and time. I'm thinking about doing the same thing and use the camera as an enlarger as well with some kind...

Yup, just google for it. https://eu.polaroid.com/collections/film-for-polaroid-8x10-cameras

I have 2 Durst 805 Enlargers. One B&W (Condenser) and a Color (Diffuser). Don't think they can be converted to 4x5. Parts for Durst are hard to find and (hence) expensive as well.
5x7 or even 4x5...

Thanks for the warm Welcome!

I'm primarily a B&W shooter. I don't even have a clue on how color processing 8x10 and printing would work (besides what I saw on youtube with the polaroid/impossible...

Hi,

I'm new to LF but have experience in 35mm and MF, also in developing these films and printing. I have a darkroom with 2 Durst enlargers that go up till 6x7.
I wanna take the next step and get...
