    Re: Unicum shutter issues

    I bought a Unicum for my Rochester Optical Premo B and it worked perfectly for some time. But last week the T mode does not stands open, I have to keep the finger pressed, just like in the B. One could "more or less" focus with the ground glass, but is obviously awkward and tired. Any ideas?

    If it has B why not use it with a locking cable release?

    Hey Bob It's a B&L Unicum shutter was most ALWAYS found with one of the two pumps meant for only a bulb/hose release w/ no provision for any other type of release including locking cable wire release.

    Carbo73 I have no good solution for fixing your Time setting on your Unicum except to refer back to Garrets Post #9. You'll have to be your own wrench and get a couple sparse for parts if needed.

    Best of luck!
