Anyone have a suggestion or is there a separate lever for the Kodak Ektar 152mm lens to be used with the side shutter release on a top mounted view finder Crown? Maybe this lens wasn't meant to be used on a Crown but only view camera.

Does your flat actuation lever miss the little lever in the lens? Does the "button" on the lens lever itself need to be reversed? I,e; that little knurled ring/nut needs to be on the lens board side, and the longer part out towards the subject? Maybe?

The Pacemaker Graphics all a+have the same lever.

No, they are shutter specific.

OP, your lens, or rather its shutter, wasn't made to be used on a specific camera.

I'm not sure where to find a paddle that will work with your 152/4.5 Ektar's shutter. Have you considered trying to make one?

I will be looking to find something that I can make one. The problem I will have is I will have to swap it when I want to use my 135mm lens.

That's part of Pacemaker Graphics' charm.
