Good evening from 11.7.2025.
I happened to encounter the possible merchant documents of Computar f9 lenses recently, they are attached below.
They brought up several questions for me.
In the documents, 240mm, 270m and 305mm lenses claims to all come with a copal 3 shutter, if requested. But most people who owns any of these three lenses have the elements mounted in a newer copal 3s shutter, such as Mr. Sandy King.
I encountered several Computar lenses recently both online and in person, which I will also have images attached below:
A Computar 305mm f9 in a rather old copal 3 shutter which works properly;
A 240mm f9 in a copal 3s shutter with customized aperture scale, also works properly;
And a 240mm f9 in an older copal 3 shutter, but with an uncustomized scale, not sure if it works properly until it arrives next Monday.
I wonder if this specific version of the copal 3 shutter have interchangeable threads with the later 3s shutters?
