    Value of Compound shutter

    I am shipping a Compound shutter for repair, and was wondering what its ballpark value was for shipping insurance purposes.

    I think it's a size 4 (taken off a Tele-Xenar 360).

    Sorry, I don't know the value, but it's a Compound size 3 (EX-III/7). So the price of a Copal 3 should be a good reference point.

    The Tele-Xenar 360mm f:5.5 took a #3 Compound. I don't know about the value, though the #3 is the most common one. 4s and 5s are more sought-after for mounting very large lenses.
