So I just purchased my first 8x10 camera after shooting 4x5 for the last few years. I got a Burke and James 8x10 with a 14inch Dallmeyer Anastigmat f5.6 lens. The person who owned the camera was using it for wet plate photography so they had no use for a shutter. I am going to use it for studio portraits using flash and thus need to add a shutter. I'm not entirely sure where to start.
I've looked at the Packard No. 6 Syncro shutter, but I don't know what size to get or if there are better options. My 4x5 lens is mounted to a COPAL-No. 1 shutter and I really like that shutter, but I don't know if they even make one that would fit this new Dallmeyer lens.
I'm just looking for some direction on where to go with this. I've attached some images of the Dallmeyer lens. Thanks!
