I currently own a Sironar-N 210 in Copal 1 shutter and am looking at purchasing a Sironar-S 210 in Copal Press 1 shutter to replace it (for the extra coverage). I have never used a Copal Press shutter before and like the idea of the “self cocking” release, however I will miss having shutter speeds faster than 1/125 of a second.
I may end up loving the Press shutter but in the event that I don’t.... can I just unscrew the cells from each shutter and swap them? I did some searching but could only find info on replacing a shutter of the same type in the same lens, or adding a shutter to a lens that does not have one. It is unclear if this will a) work perfectly b) not work at all and need some work at s.k. Grimes, or c) work but need new aperture scales.
Any input anyone has would be appreciated. Thanks!
