I was out shooting late this morning with my Eastman 5x7 and 2 lenses, a 10" B&L Petzval and a 10" B&L Rapid Rectilinear. The RR is in a brass Unicum shutter, the Petzval has a front mounted #8 Packard. I learned (the hard way) that a 100+ year old shutter that works fine in a warm house will give you fits in 30 degree outside air. Needless to say, the shutter is going to Flutot's tomorrow (Carol, you've already been warned!
)
I'll soup the negs this evening and post some images in the next day or so.
Also...
I'll be posting yet another page on Packard shutters soon. This one will feature some mods I made to the Petzval as well as the shutter mount. Link to follow...
