I just got myself a Tachihara 4X5 from Adorama, along with some other accessories and a used Schneider-Kreuznach F/8 90MM Super Angulon to go with it. I've had a bunch of trouble with it, first I couldn't seperate it from the old lens board, then I got it off, but there's still some sort of synthetic disk that needs to come off but won't budge. I've been messing around with it all afternoon and learned more about lenses than I have in years, but no luck actually solving the problem.
Problem #2 is I see nothing resembling a shutter. No shutter speed ring with a big engraved "COPAL #0" to be seen. Adorama said one would be included.
So I'll admit I'm pretty much lost at this point, this thing doesn't look like the other lenses I've seen pictures of. Any help would be appreciated, I can get pictures of this little beast if needed.
Thanks in advance
Neil
