First of all thank you for your answer.
The lens/shutter assembly came "as it is" from a "combo-bargain-ebayoffer" together with an older lens (a triplet from some old folding camera). This last one was really easy to work on, but unfortunately shutter is damaged.
So I moved to this second one. I need the shutter alone to complete a DIY 6*7 pinhole project and this one misses "T" pose but reaches 1/500 so I could even plan to use a flash... wow!
If I understand correctly, the special tool to hold lower part could be somehow replaced, but then: what is the correct verse to turn the upper part? clockwise or counter?
By the way I am curious myself to try one of this "older tessars" and sooner or later I will follow temptation and buy one of those lovely Vitos...
have a nice day!
