which shutter release can I use for the leitmeyr 90mm F6.8 lens?

If yours is like the four 90/6.8 Leitmeyr lenses now on ebay.com, any cable release should do. Which shutter is it mounted in?

I only have the lenses, the shutter is missing and I have no idea where it will fit.

Hmm. First get a shutter, then worry about the release. The 90/6.8s on eBay.com seem to be in #0 shutters.

Quick test: the two cells' mounting threads should be the same diameter. If they are, 22.5 mm => Compur #00, 29.5 mm => Compur, Copal and Prontor #0.

I have the 90mm WA Leitmayr lens, both of it, the f/6.8 and the f/5.5
Both of it are mounted in a size 0 shutter.

You’ll probably have to make an aperture scale, or have one made. Finding one might be really challenging.

The Lietmayr lens is symmetrical so it is easy to find the correct aperture values.
Devide the focus of 90mm/f-stop (90/6,8= 13,2mm)
(90/8= 11,3mm and so on)
You can measure the aperture diameter with a caliber.

La lente Lietmayr es simétrica, por lo que es fácil encontrar los valores de apertura correctos.
Dividir el enfoque de 90mm/f-stop (90/6,8= 13,2mm)
(90/8= 11,3mm y así sucesivamente)
Puedes medir el diámetro de la apertura con un calibre.

Muchísimas gracias
lo haré tal como lo indicas
y hare las marcas en la escala del diafragma

Probablemente tendrás que hacer una escala de apertura o encargar una. Encontrar uno puede ser realmente un desafío.

Si, el foro es maravillo han compartido como hacerlo.. es genial

Excellent I did it and it works, I still have to solve the issue of giving color to the scale, it is already worn and are not clearly seen. For the moment I glued a tape and with that I can fix it, I will see in another forum how to restore the diaphragm marks.
Thanks
