I have a Hugo Meyer Weitwinkel Aristostigmat lens, for which I have hunted down a Compur No.2 shutter. At first, it seems to be a win, the lens cells do screw perfectly in the shutter. But the shutter barrel is much longer than the original barrel with the aperture, resulting in the cell spacing being off. (I have only tried shooting the lens in the original barrel with aperture, not in the shutter).
My question is how important is this, and if there is any solution. Could I try and use the lens cells with spacing different than originally intended? If not, is there a way to modify the shutter? (That would probably mean SK Grimes, or similar, am I right? Then, my question would be, how much does SK Grimes charge for mating lens cells with a shutter if you provide both?)
(I fear that the answer is obvious - the spacing is important, but I'm hoping for a miracle... . So the second question regarding the usual price is probably more important...).
