I just purchased this lens and have lots of questions. I purchased this to use on my Ebony 8x10 slw, for some soft focus portrait work.
It has the flange but no shutter. I know it was offered when new with or without a studio shutter, someone decided to save the $5 and purchase without it. The studio would have been better than no shutter, I guess but I don’t understand the use of this shutter either.
How do you use such a fast lens without a shutter, lens cap on and off, guessing exposure?
Is there a more modern type shutter that could be adapted to this lens?
How about a lens board, what do you suggest?
Any thoughts on this lens and general advice would be greatly appreciated! You can see, I’m in way over my head!
Thanks,
John
