Zeiss Nettar shutter markings

Recommended Posts

I have a Zeiss Netter with 105/4.5 Novar and Prontor shutter. The

camera appears to work ok but I would like to know what the shutter

markings M(SILVER) X(RED) V(GREEN) mean (they can be selected

individually). I guess one is a flash setting possibly the X but what

are the others for ?

Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,

R.J.

Hi:

 

As you guessed, X is the flash synch setting for electronic flash.

M is the flash synch setting for bulbs.

V is the Self-Timer. If the shutter is clean and in good order, setting this will give you about a 10 second delay before the shutter fires. If it's not, as is pretty much typical for a camera of this age, the works will hang up and it won't fire at all.

 

If you have a flash on the camera when you set the self timer, usually the X synch will be in effect.
