can i change my certo six folding camera shutter, from tempor shutter(B-1/250) to a better shutter like synchro compur(B-1/500)?
i've seen the same camera as mine with synchro compur before.
any suggestion for any kind of shutter other than synchro compur,as long as it's having 1/500 sec speed.
thanks

If you can find one, and have the tools to do the work yourself, yes. If you have to pay someone else to do the job, I dont know if its worth it. If you are a DIY'er, and do it , watch where all the shims came from when you disassemble the old lens/shutter, so the new will go in properly.
