So, I got this lens from Jim Galli...

Thanks to Jim Galli, I own another LF lens. This time it is a 1907ish Wollensak with a Packard shutter. At my request though, he sent unassembled because I want to start to learn about how to mount a lens on a shutter & board. So, does anyone out there have picture of a lens similar to mine mounted already that I can see? I am interested in a rear view, where the shutter is attached to the lens.

TIA,

The shutter should attach to the back of the lens-board. There are 4 screws (one in each corner) of the shutter.

I just got a Packard shutter mounted on an old Agfa Ansco 5 x 7. Here are some links to site with photos you may fine useful. Best of luck with your project.
