Hi,

Do you know if this will screw right into a shutter?

Thank you

Well, the mounting threads are M120x1.6. I don't think there are any shutters with a front tube that wide. But if you have the money and can provide a Compound or Ilex #5, SKGrimes can probably put the cells in it.

There is a chart on SK Grimes site that listed lenses and the shutters they would fit. Seeing as how a 600 Ronar fits a Ilex #5, and that some much larger lenses do too, I'd guess it is possible to have the lens adapted to an Ilex #5. Good luck finding an Ilex #5 though. Front mounting it at the very least would cut the image circle way down. Maybe if you stated what you were going to use it for there might be alternatives that people could suggest.

I bought a 790mm F14 Apo Ronar years ago for $200 and it is considerably smaller than the 800mm.
I use it with the Sinar Norma Shutter. Make sure you have enough bellows draw and it's -heavy-
