I’ve recently aquired a Sinar P. I’ve worked with view cameras for over 20 years but have no experience with Sinar shutters. Can someone explain how Sinar shutters work and their history? [yes i know how to use Google etc…] I plan to use the camera for close-up tabletop work. At present I am using a 150mm Ronar in a Copal 0 shutter. The Ronar is very sharp and works great for closeup work. The coverage is not an issue since the bellows is typically at 300mm or more. But the Ronar is f9 and with the large bellow produces a very dim image on the ground glass. I own a 150mm f5.6 Rodagon enlarging lens I would like to try this since it is faster. My only requirement for a shutter is to trigger studio lights. An old Packard with one speed would meet all my needs.
