hello,
i bought a meridian 45 to get into large format.
the camera came with a wollensak velostigmat series ii 162mm in a rapax 4.5 t-200 shutter. i am having issues with the shutter: the setting lever is very difficult to move and the bulb doesn't work at all. the other speeds look accurate and i am getting acceptable results, but i want a better shutter.
my problem, though, is that i cannot find reliable measurements on the shutter size. the meridian has a proprietary round lens board, so ideally i would find something that fits the one i already have. does anyone know what the equivalent copal size is and if there is one which would fit the lens i already have?
sorry for the seemingly basic question, but i cannot find information on the size and lens compatibility anywhere.
