I do not know what lenses were with some of the shutters below. Most of the Copal 1 and 0 shutters come with boxes even if the boxes may not be original with the shutters.
The only Copal 3S shutters I have in stock are with lenses. Specifically, with a 360mm Grafic Kowa. See my View Camera Lenses web page.
For those looking for a #3 shutter to accept a lens that is too big for an ordinary Copal #3 shutter, I have a 300mm f5.6 Symmar-S lens in a Copal #3 shutter that has 3mm larger diameter threads than either a standard Copal #3 or #3S shutter. The thread size is 58mm X .75mmp. And the 250mm Fujinon soft focus lens has lens threads of 58mm X .7mmp. See my View Camera Lenses web page.
Alphax #0? very small synchro shutter, lens threads front and rear are about 30-31mm, with flange, working smoothly, Mint-, $80. There is an apparently clear glass filter just behind the shutter blades held in with an easily removed spring steel ring.
Copal 0 shutter for 120mm F8 Nikon SW lens, with flange, working smoothly, Mint, $200. This will work with any 120mm lens that fits into a #0 shutter; the F-stop scale will be correct to F8.
Copal 0 shutter with blank F stop scales, with flange, working smoothly, Mint, $200. Given a blank F-stop scale, you may have it engraved to meet your needs.
Compur #0 shutter for with an F-stop scale that goes to F2.8. Diameter of opening at F2.8 is 23.38mm. Working smoothly. Cosmetically clean. $135 with flange, $100 w/o flange.
Synchro Compur #0 shutter for triple convertible lens. F-stop scales for the 3 focal lengths. Working smoothly. Cosmetically clean. $150 with flange, $115 w/o flange.
Wide angle release extension for Compur #0 shutter. The angle of the release extension is adjustable. The release extension mounting block is mounted to the plate with screws in slotted holes--for adjustment purposes. Shown here with a lens in a #0 Compur shutter which, of course, is not included. RARE. $65. This will not align with a Copal shutter release without adding a spacer behind the release extension mounting block. If you have a different vintage Compur shutter, I will be glad to see if I have one in stock and check the fit for you.
Wide angle release extension for Compur #1 shutter. The angle of the release extension is adjustable. The release extension mounting block is mounted to the plate with screws in slotted holes--for adjustment purposes. Shown here with a lens in a #1 Compur shutter which, of course, is not included. RARE. $65. If you have a different vintage Compur shutter, I will be glad to see if I have one in stock and check the fit for you. Not recommended for use with a Copal shutter.
Copal 1 shutter with F stop scale probably for 250mm F6.7 Fujinon. $200.
Compur Press #1 shutter. Newly cleaned, lubed and adjusted shutter. The F-stop scale will be accurate for any 150mm lens to F4.5 or the maximum aperture of the lens. Of course, you may change the F-stop scale and put another focal length lens into this #1 shutter. With flange, $175, $150 w/o flange.
Polaroid MP4 PC synched shutter kit, Prontor shutter on MP4 lensboard, extension tube, microscope adaptor, boxed, Mint, $275
Prontor PC synched shutter on Polaroid MP4 lensboard, Mint, $175. This shutter is the one from the kit illustrated above.
Prontor PC synched shutter with mounting ring, Ex, $100. These Prontor shutters have speeds from 1 second to 1/125 second--activated by one of the cable release sockets. The other cable release socket activates the shutter in bulb mode.
Compur #3 shutter F-stop scale. This is designed to stick up above the front of the camera to allow you to adjust the F-stop from behind the camera. With this device, your lens becomes preset. You set the F-stop on this device using the clear plastic adjustable stop; to use it, you pull up to open fully and push down to the preset F-stop. Because there are few lenses in #3 shutters that open up beyond F5.6 or stop down beyond F64, this scale is designed to work with any lens you might have. RARE. $120.
Compur #1 shutter F-stop scale control. This is designed to stick up above the front of the camera to allow you to adjust the F-stop from behind the camera. You get the 2 required mounting screws and a spacer for the lens rear with a new jamb nut. $110.
Compur #1 shutter F-stop scale and shutter speed scale controls. These are designed to stick up above the front of the camera to allow you to adjust the shutter from behind the camera. This is the only shutter speed control I have seen. You get all required components, including mounting screws. The 2nd photo shows these controls mounted on an electronic #1 Compur shutter, which is not included. These will also work on a manual Compur #1 shutter of the same vintage as illustrated. Buyer will receive additional photos of the controls mounted on the rear of the shutter. RARE. $150.
Compur almost a #1 shutter. Accepts a #1 flange, but no flange included. Lens threads about the same diameter as #1 lens threads, but a lens from a #1 doesn't quite screw in. F-stop scale for 120mm F4.5 lens. Diameter of opening about 23.8mm. Diameter of lens threads front and rear about 35mm. Shutter speeds 1 second to 1/200 second. Working. $45.
Zeiss Ikon Compur smaller than #0 shutter with F-stop scale to F4.5. Diameter of opening at F4.5 is 22.42mm. Works on time and bulb, other speeds are all about the same--about 1/100 second I guess. This would be good for the pinhole photographer. Front lens threads about 29mm. Rear lens threads about 26.5mm. $35 with flange.
2 Compur smaller than #0 shutters in need of repair. One has rusty blades. The other has a dented shutter speed setting ring. Neither are working. Neither have flanges. One does not have an F-stop scale. Front lens threads about 29mm both lenses. Rear lens threads about 26.5mm both lenses. Need cleaning and repair. $35 for both.
Packard shutters are limited in speeds. Packard shutters require a little experience to operate properly. Most Packard shutters operate only in a vertical position. Funky beasts, but the best or only alternative sometimes. I have no Packard shutter squeeze bulbs remaining. I have some Packard shutter tubing and some other Packard shutter accessories available. Packard shutter operating instructions listed below with a new-old-stock Packard shutter.
4 1/2" opening 110V powered solenoid activated Packard type shutter. From 11X14 Consolidated enlarger. 10.75X13.5" overall with 4.5" lens opening. This is made specifically to fit the 11X14 Consolidated enlarger bellows. Those bellows are available and may be found on my View Camera accessories web page. I illustrate the shutter on the bellows here for your convenience. Most reliable and consistent. $100 or $75 if purchased with the bellows.
3 1/2" opening 110V powered solenoid activated Packard type shutter. From copy camera. 6.75X7.75" overall with solenoid sticking out beyond that. The solenoid is designed to be on the top side; when 110V current is applied to the solenoid, the blades open. Add a spring and it will work in any position. Most reliable and consistent. Mint-, $80.
3 1/2" opening Packard shutter. 6.5" square overall. Works. Ex, $80
Adaptor lensboard with Packard shutter. 7.5" square lensboard accepts 6" square lensboards and has 3 1/4" opening Packard shutter neatly installed with through tubing. Works. $175
3 1/4" opening Packard shutter. 6" square overall. With synchronization. Works. Ex, $100
2 3/4" opening Packard shutter mounted on Sinar lensboard. Hole in lensboard is 2.875". Packard shutter 5" square overall. With modern microswitch and PC synchronization terminal. Extremely smooth functioning Packard shutter. $200
2 3/4" opening Packard shutter. 5" square overall. Double piston model. Not working 100%. Tends to stay open when fired. For parts, $20. This is the appropriate size for use with the Deardorff 8X10 front Packard shutter.
2 3/4" opening Packard shutter. 5" square overall. With modern microswitch and PC synchronization terminal. Extremely clean inside and out, but it tends to stay open when fired. $60. This is the appropriate size for use with the Deardorff 8X10 front Packard shutter.
Front mount Packard shutter housing. Fits 8X10 Deardorff that accepts 6X6 round-cornered lensboards. This front mount Packard shutter housing also accepts 6X6 round-cornered lensboards. The 3 shutters listed above are the appropriate size to fit this front mount Packard shutter housing; one of those shutters is illustrated with it. The back side of this Packard shutter housing is broken where it mounts onto the camera; this can be repaired. I am planning to make this into an adapter lensboard for using Deardorff lensboards on a Sinar; the last photo shows the Sinar lensboard already cut to fit. I have neatly plugged the hole for the Packard shutter tubing with epoxy; that may easily be unplugged. You can see this epoxy plug in the 1st photo as it needs to be painted over with black paint. The next step in the process of converting this to an adapter lensboard is to mount a lensboard onto the rear of this. This can be an adapter lensboard for virtually any camera. What camera would you like for it to fit? It may still be a front Packard shutter housing for Deardorff or the camera it is adapted to fit. $120 as it is. With additional work it will be more expensive. Sinar lensboard and Packard shutter not included.
2.5" opening Packard shutter. 4.75" square overall. SYNCHRONIZED. NEW-OLD-STOCK, boxed, with instantaneous speed changing pin, with INSTRUCTIONS. Inside the tan envelope is the speed changing pin and mounting screws. On the envelope are simplified mounting instructions, which I will scan and place below. I will also scan and place below info from the white paper included with the shutter; this is a large file suitable for printing. Interesting info. What is the largest Packard shutter made? You will find out. Feel free to download this info and print it out for your own use. Feel free to link to it. $150
2.5" opening Packard shutter. 4.75" square overall. Opens with bulb, stays open until you provide suction with bulb--so only good for time exposures. Not good for instantaneous exposures, $25
4.5x4.5" square-cornered Deardorff red mahogany lensboard, 2.5" hole size in lensboard, with 2" hole size Packard shutter installed, synch terminals, instantaneous setting pin installed, through tube installed, works, crack in lensboard does not affect performance, $75
2" opening Packard shutter. 4" square overall. Synchronized. Double piston model. One piston for time and one for instantaneous. Instantaneous piston working well. Time piston will open, but not close, $30
Packard shutter tubing. Black. NEW-OLD-STOCK, live rubber, dusted with talcum or other powder. $3 per foot.
Packard shutter speed change pin. Brass with steel pin. $20.
Packard shutter through tube. Hollow threaded tube with knurled nuts for putting through your lensboard to carry air to the Packard shutter, $25.
DeGroff AIR-WAY shutter release, large size. Use your bulb and tubing to trip virtually any shutter with a standard cable release socket. Results in less camera shake and you may trip shutter from a distance. 2 used ones available. One on bottom has an ordinary tapered threaded tip, $20. The other has straight threads, $15.
Airequipt pneumatic remote control cord. Not designed for use with Packard shutters and will not work with Packard shutters because the tubing is too small diameter. Comes with special end piece that you can cut off. NEW-OLD-STOCK, $25 each, 1 available + a 2nd one available w/o the bulb for $10, a 3rd one available w/o the box or the bulb for $9.
Cable Releases. I have dozens. I illustrate a few. I have them from 3" long to over 3' long. I have 2 about 20' long air actuated shutter releases. I have cable release extensions. I have locking cable releases. I have straight thread cable releases. I have tapered thread cable releases. I have solenoid actuated shutter releases. I have Nikon cable releases. I have self timers. I have cable releases with a long throw. I have cable releases with a short throw. What is it that you need?
I have 100's of flanges. This collection is primarily for my own use--supplying flanges for lenses that I buy from others w/o flanges. I will offer flanges for known lenses or known manufacturers or known shutters at least.
Moidern #3 shutter flange. 67mm X 0.75mmp threaded flange for most modern #3 Copal and Compur shutters. This is a beefy flange that you may use to strengthen a thin lensboard. Overall outside diameter is 107mm. These lensboards could be turned down to the diameter of the wider shoulder on one side of the flange, which is 87mm; the shoulder could then be drilled and countersunk and/or tapped as necessary for your application. These flanges could be turned down even more and a couple of slots milled into them for use as a narrow jamb nut. I can do this work for you neatly and professionally for a fee. The diameter of the narrower shoulder is 65mm--standard #3 hole size; if the rear of your lensboard is large enough you may use this flange as is as a jamb nut. New, $50 each.
75mm Goerz Hypergon flange, $75. You know the lens is rare. The flange is even more rare. And even more rare than the flange is the guy who knows that the flange he has is for that lens.
Flange for 180mm F4.5 Xenar in barrel, $50
8 1/4" Golden Dagor flange or for lens in Synchro Compur #1 rim set shutter, black painted brass, $80. Add $50 for flange mounted on a Graphic View 4X4" lens board.
19" Dagor flange, $125
19" Artar flange, $125
Flange for 305mm F4.5 Kodak Portrait lens in barrel, $150.
Large Compound shutter flange, ~74.77mm inside diameter thread size, $125
Large Compound shutter flange, ~75.40mm inside diameter thread size, $125. Note: Add $75 for flange neatly mounted on a Toyo View lensboard. A 14" Double Anastigmat Symmar used to sit on this lensboard on a Toyo 810M. I had a 2nd flange for the lens mounted on a Sinar lensboard--sold with lens.
#5FS Compur Electronic shutter retaining ring, $125
Several large Taylor, Taylor, Hobson and Cooke flanges, $100 each. These flanges have an inside diameter of about 99, 86 and 68.5mm.
Flange built into lensboard. Lensboard labeled "England." Threads are about 69-70mm diameter by 24TPI. I checked the threads with a metric thread pitch gauge; although close to 1mmp, they are not metric threads. The lensboard is 83.8mm square. The bevel is on the backside of the lensboard where it says "England." Please let me know what camera and lens this lensboard fits. $150
Linhof lensboards to fit 4X5 models III, IV or V Technika cameras and Compur Compound shutter with Linhof factory mounted flange (~59mm threads) properly mounted below center, as illustrated, your choice, $150. This is the size to fit 200 and 250mm Imagons, etc. Black Technika V lensboard also available, but not shown. These Technika III lensboards are very special. The too thin Technika III lensboards require special mounting with 3 screws from the front and 3 screws from the rear. A 210mm Xenar in Compound shutter is another example of a lens and shutter to fit these lensboards.
