Hello!
I have an Avus 9x12 with a skopar 4.5 in a compur shutter from 1932 and I was just wondering whether this is of a standard size 0/1? I am more or less lost when it comes to these older shutters and would greatly appreciate any information prior to possible try my hand at removing it and temporarily transplant it onto another camera.

Cheers!

Hi Ron,
Thank you for your reply! I knew that I was missing something! It is rim-set non-synchro version with B,T and 1-200 speeds.
I've attached some images and will also be sure to see if I can work something out from those resources!

I actually managed to get the lens assembly off the camera body and can confirm that the rear thread is M36-0.75 indeed.
I would assume, to remove the front lens I would need to remove the Voigtlander plate and then just unscrew the front lens element much like on a regular large format lens?

Update: No need to remove the plate. The front lens element unscrewed fine with the plate in place.
