I suspect because it's black, it's a very early (possibly prototype) shutter. First Norma cameras -were- all black, then became Olive Green when put into production. Arca Swiss made a lot of the...
The Modern Black Sinar Shutter Release also fits the Olde Norma Shutters. I have one and it is much smoother to operate than the Norma ones. George Brown recommended I get one, an excellent...

Same here. Happy Camper I bought mine new back in the day, has proved it's worth. Road beaten but holding together well.
That's clever! I think I will make myself one of those :) I use Unicolor 8x10 Print Drums, which I would NOT recommend with PMK+. Does work good with D23. I think 5x7 and 13x18 contact prints...

I shot fresh 8x10 B&W Polaroid back in the day, the instant feedback was delightful. In Reinhart Wolfe's last book he was shooting Tele 8x10 Color Polaroids of Architecture. They are beautiful.
