Shutter options

Gaffer tape is great eh brandon13

The Sinar shutter looks great. Until I checked the price...

I'm primarily a wetplate photographer and have stacks of Petzval and other shutterless but with diaphragm/Watwrhouse stopped lenses that I want to now use with film which is why I'm made the original post. However I've found a big (3"ish) roller blind shutter which I think may have a few speeds. Problem is it's knackered. Does anyone restore these to their former glory? I guess one option (weeps) is to offload some of my lovely Petzvals....

Let us know if you decide to do so

And BTW did you think of making a shutter of Graflex Pacemaker maybe? 3x4 one would be enough basically for any lens up to 3" diameter.

The electronic shutter the Chalkovsky link points to is a 40mm (4 CM) aperture. Whole assembly is under 10 cm square. Nice shutter... My war baby Dallmayer requires a 3.5 inch aperture.. So went with a Packard which will front mount. Side note, he sure has a nice 12 inch AM he thinks is a Dallmeyer. Call for price... temptation!

Gaffer tape is beyond great. I've used it several times to test lenses before modifying a lens board specifically for said lens. I bought that compound Shutter here on the forum and I believe it was around $140.00 ?????

Yeah, can't fix a dropped digi cam with gaffer

To get me up and running with film again (dunno why I sold my lenses and camera but glad I've still got 10 8x10 dds!) I got this for $275 eBay Item #:261336467030
No import duty on this either which is a bonus.
