Hi,

I recently started in LF and got myself a 8x10 camera. I been reading a lot, but obviously I still got a lot to learn as well. First of all, this forum is a great resource, so thanks to all who contribute!
Now for the question: I'm looking for a couple of lenses to add to the arsenal and I got my eyes on a Heliar 300mm 4.5, which is apparently a wonderful lens. This lens doesn't have any shutter, but it seems there are options to add one.
Can someone shed some light on this ( I come from smaller size photography where either the camera or the lens got a shutter)? Is it just a matter of finding the right diameter shutter and screw the shutter on the lens as an add-on?
In this case: any recommendations? I know I can just put a cap with times > 1sec, but I don't want to be limited by this.

Thanks!

Filip
