Covers 6x9, the shutter speeds sound good to me. No defect I can see with the glass. Note that with the Compur shutter, you have to put the shutter at B, and hold it for through the lens focusing.

$205 including shipping in US. Non-US shipping at cost.

Richard,

That shutter should have press focus. To use it, cock the shutter. Then press down on the button at the end of the aperture scale. It is by "250" in your first image. Then, holding the button down, fire the shutter. To close the shutter, cock it again.

This is from a Bessa II camera, standard lens/shutter combo. It can be used in a 6x9 view camera as OP described.
The knob at 1/250 is the self timer, move it backwards to the rear side, move the cocking lever where the opening gap is now and pray the self timer is working otherwise you have a blocked shutter.

Thanks, but it doesn't work on this shutter. Maybe it needs a CLA, but the shutter speeds do sound reasonable.

This is a great lens, should do well with color film and be relatively flare-proof (at least compared to an uncoated Heliar!). Probably worth trying on a helicoid as collapsible front standard was the Bessa II's Achilles heel. GLWTS.

Just wondering if the front group is the fixed focus type, and just screws right out of the shutter? I don't see any set screws.

Click to expand...

The cells just screw off the shutter, so you need a bellow or a helicoid to focus
