Recommended book on leaf shutter design, maintenance and repair?

Dali · Apr 21, 2020

Hi there,

Can you recommend a good book / tutorial about design, maintenance and repair (disassemble/assemply) of usual leaf (central) shutters for medium format cameras (Compur, Prontor, Copal, Seiko, etc...)?

Many thanks!

The first post in this https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?138978-Where-to-look-for-information-on-LF-(mainly)-lenses discussion has a link to a list of links to useful sources of information for, mainly, large format. Click on the link, download the list. Download because the list has an index that doesn't work with on-line pdf readers. Go to the shutter section and look around.

Better than a book. Use this:
https://learncamerarepair.com

It has all kinds of repair manuals for specific shutters. Plus there's other information on there too worth looking into.

And Chris Sherlock demonstrates the disassembly and restoration of mostly Compur shutters on his YouTube channel:

There are many more on Chris's channel if you search.
