Copal Press shutter?

[marko_trebusak]

I just wonder why this type of shutter isn't popular with LF photographers? I'm thinking about multiple exposures of photos with streams, and I prefer the texture that is possible to make with multiple exposures. SO I'm thinking, that I would probably prefer the Press type to "standard" version of the shutter. The down side is only a 1/125 time, but that doesn't matter that much, since I can't remember taking nature photo with LF and time faster than 1/15 of a second. Another down side is a 0.5 mm bigger diaphragm opening ...

Thank you in advance

I've always liked them and regret selling a late 90mm Angulon that was in them. The issue for me has been that I don't like mixing types of shutters because I make mistakes switching between the two types, especially when I'm drunk.
