I wanted to mount a lens from a DB mount into a Copal 0 shutter. When I did this, I noticed that the front element didn't screw very far into the shutter. When I examined more closely, the Copal 0 shutter from a 150mm G-Claron has a beveled ridge on the face of the shutter that can keep a lens from screwing as far into the shutter as a flat-faced version of the shutter. (My 90mm 6/8 Grandagon is in a flat-faced shutter, as is my Fuji 125W). I didn't know there were differences, and this is something to look for if you're re-mounting a lens in a Copal 0 shutter
