I have a 240mm G Claron which came already set up, complete with spacers, in a Copal No1 Press shutter, both of which are in a nice condition.
I also have a 210mm G Claron (also nice) which is in need of a shutter. I spotted a very tidy looking Copal S-No1 Press shutter described as working properly, which is labelled Wista on the front housing.
Would I be right in thinking that the Copal No1 Press, whether designed for Wista or not would be the same as any other Copal 1 Press shutter and therefore suitable for the 210mm G Claron - logic says that the shutter number itself would suggest that they are one in the same. I think the extra S in the name (Copal S-No1 Press) is the name of a particular Wista camera.
A Linhof Copal or Compur doesn't differ from a 'normal' Copal or Compur, so I'm hoping that there is not some devil in the detail that I'm missing.
I love this forum!
