Newest model Compur 3, T Trouble

[Corran]

Copal 3s

Do you have a Copal or a Compur??

My older silver rim Compur 3 have T and no B setting. My newer all black Compur 3 have a B and no T setting. They work exactly the same. They open and close and are made to be used with a shutter release. It's not a problem, it's the way the shutter is designed to work.

If this in response to my original post from 2015, you've completely misread my statements. The 'T' setting does nothing. The shutter needs a service to use T. I was initially concerned I was doing something wrong as I hadn't used a modern Compur before but it was not me.

Yes, it's an old thread, but there were several responses today. On mine, the T works exactly as the B setting. L

Compur 3's, Silver on left with a 240 Componon-S & black on right with a 240 Sironar-N. Silver has a T setting, the black has a B setting both work identically and perform the same function.

Sorry, it’s Compur 3, it was late yesterday.

That’s what I thought and like I said it’s exactly the same problem. Mine is a silver one with T only.

To add to the confusion, my older Synchro Compur does Click-Open-Click-Close in B-Mode and Click-Hold-Close in T-Mode.

Sure thing. But I was expecting T and B modes to work the same way no matter what model or brand. Apparently that’s not the case.
