Shutter is in great shape with all the speeds down to a full second sounding solid and even. I'm including a set od retaining rings that I bought that are certainly too big as well as a flange that only threads on several turns, depending on the width of the lens board it may or may not work. I bought it several years ago for a custom super wide project that I've since abandoned.

It looks like the rear threads are 58 to 59mm.

$200.00 net plus $10.50 for shipping in the US. Have a great weekend everyone!

Just for information for people, Copal made two variants on the Copal 3 shutter; 3 and 3S. The 3 had 58mm threads for the front and back cells, and the 3S had 56mm threads. There's other specifications about them that are different as well (distance to iris, etc.)

However, I have seen shutters that were labelled "3" and some of them were actually the 3S specification, so apparently, they didn't follow the naming for shutters that were sent to a lens manufacturer for use in one of their lenses... so be careful if you are buying one to match to specific cells, because they may be different, even if they don't have a different label.

Good luck with the sale Dirk...
