OKAROB Thanks, that explains a lot. I have had this lens for some time now but have been baffled as to fitting it into a shutter. Lens is in very good shape with exception of a little bit of Schneideritis.
Could this be a Dagor type lens? What would that mean?
I take it you're asking about the 355 G-Claron you mentioned in the first post in this discussion.
Odds are against it being a dagor type. There have been extensive discussions about whether any Dagor type 355 G-Clarons were made. The consensus is that none were made, but I think -- I haven't been able to examine any of the likelies -- that in fact a few were made.
https://1drv.ms/x/s!AggQfcczvHGN0kIjB_63NhzCEsV5 gives directions for recognizing dagor type lenses. Follow the directions, and please tell us your lens' serial numbers and how many dim and bright reflections you see from a single cell.
The significance of a G-Claron being a dagor type? In practice, not much.
On counting reflections.. never knowingly done this. How, what do I look for?
Remove either cell from the shutter. Shine a bright light at it. One light, not a cluster. Follow the link, follow the directions.
