    Well I know people have taken the internal leaf shutters out of RZ lenses and frankensteined them for Large Format- the threading is often standard on those (Copal #1, #0) etc...

    Hmm. I b'lieve that Horseman's Intelligent Shutter System, electronically controlled electric shutters is Compur/Copal sizes 0, 1, and 3, is still available. Very expensive, though, and seems poorly suited to field use.

    Those were motorized Copal shutters. Doubt any still exist. Horseman discontinued them when we decided not to distribute them. And that was long, long ago.

    At least per the Kenko-PI website, the IS-3 shutter unit is discontinued but the IS-0, IS-1 and control box are still offered:

    EDIT: the content of that page is bound to change at some point; here's a link to a Wayback Machine snapshot of what it currently shows:

    The irony is that you can often buy an entire used LF lens and simply cannibalize its shutter for less money than buying that same shutter by itself on the used market.

    I don't do this

    I try to buy the best condition glass AND shutter

    However I have many bad shutters from a mass purchase

    I now consider those barrel lenses

    I do not sell shutters or parts
