Hi, I'm eyeing a 165mm super angulon for my 8x10. Problem is that I don't recognize the shutter that some older versions of this lens are mounted on. Can anyone inform me on this? Picture of an example is attached....

Thanks.

See: http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/archiv/pdf/an_su_1963.pdf , which says it is a #II 5/2

See: http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/archiv/pdf/an_su_1970.pdf , which says it is a #1

See: http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/archiv/pdf/an_su_1995.pdf , which says it is a #3

You may have to have the lens in hand to be sure which shutter it is in.

Thanks for the help everyone. Now I feel a little more confident about buying one of thes older lenses. I've been looking for the equivalent of a 90mm on 4x5 for my 8x10. I'm almost there....
