I want to buy Copal press shutters to replace my standard Copals for my Schneide r SA 90 and my Nikon 210 (Copal 0 and 1). I remember reading somewhere some year s ago that each shutter was perfectly matched to each lens, and installing a new one wasn't simply a matter of unscrewing from one and screwing into another; th at some sort of precise spacing calibration had to be done. I called a well-resp ected camera repair place in NY that I figured would do such work, and they didn 't seem to know what I was talking about. I then searched here, and elswhere on the web, and couldn't find anything on the subject.
Did I just imagine reading this? Can I simply install the lenses in the new same -brand/size shutters and go on my way, or are the optics compromised if they are n't calibrated perfectly, however that's done. If so, where do I get this done, and what might it cost?
Thanks for any help!
