Crown Graphic shutter lever for 152mm Ektar

[campy51]

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.

The Pacemaker Graphics all a+have the same lever.

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?

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.
