Can you post a picture. I don't see any brass ring on the back of my Horseman 120, or any of the other lenses for that matter.
Thank you for the picture. I have never removed a Seiko shutter from it's lensboard before. Since the flange focal length is measured on these lenses from the 4 machined pads of the lensboard, any shims back there between the shutter and lensboard need to be in the proper place.
Thank you, everybody. I think we can agree that the brass ring issue has been solved. But two problems still remain:
1. Can the flash socket be removed from the Horseman board to accompany the lens (and the shutter)? That is, without breaking things?
2. The lever that should (I believe) open the shutter for focusing doesn't work. On this issue, however... Could it be that it is not supposed to work? I mean, there is a flash sync selector (V-X-M) that doesn't work, either (it is fixed at X). If the Horseman board is meant for cameras that don't have a ground glass, opening the shutter manually would not make sense, would it? (I know I wrote, earlier, that the lever worked "before". But I'm not so sure, anymore. Maybe it never did.)
The shutter is broken if those functions don't work.
Probably a very stupid question, but you do have the shutter cocked?
