Hi all
New(ish) to the forum and enjoying the hive mind very much.
I’m about to pull the trigger on a Schneider Xenar 15cm f/3.5 that comes with a working Compur shutter (old model, not Synchro-Compur model). I’ve searched the web for specifications but still have some questions. Hoping anyone familiar with Compurs can help!
1. Is the maximum speed 1/200?
2. What do the letters B, T, Z, D, M stand for on the dial? Which setting is used for regular use? (assuming B is Bulb and T is Timed exposures).
3. Does it have preview switch and cocking lever like modern shutters?
4. Do Compur type numbers correspond to Copal, ie. does a Compur No. 1 fit in a Copal No. 1 lens board?
Thanks in advance.
