Apo Nikkor 9/305mm without shutter. Need help

<p>Hi, <br /><br />I have seen an <strong>Apo Nikkor 9/305mm</strong> lens that is sold without shutter. I wonder if it can be used as is without shutter, considered<br>

that I normally use B pose. I own a Shen Hao PTB camera that use linhof technika tyoe plates. Do you also know if this camera can accept the <strong>Apo Nikkor 9/305mm</strong> lens. <br>

<br />thanking you for looking / helping, <br />Antonio </p>

<p>Look for a Packard shutter and see if that will fit on the back of your lens board - <a href="http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS330US330&aq=0&oq=packard+sh&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=packard+shutter">http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS330US330&aq=0&oq=packard+sh&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=packard+shutter</a> If not, if the lens will physically fit, you could use a lens cap to expose.</p>

<p>I don't know anything about this specific lens, but:</p>

<p>(a) An f/9 process lens in barrel mount will probably be less than 40mm in diameter, so you should have no trouble mounting it on a Technika-standard board. (Unless I'm missing something.)</p>

<p>(b) If you like the lens, you might consider having it mounted in a leaf shutter by S K Grimes or one of the other specialists. Might cost more than the lens though.</p>

<p>Alternative to Mr. Sims suggestion "b"</p>

<p>Get a leaf shutter at eBay large enough to accomodate the back of your lens, then just epoxy the two together with an opaque porduct such as JB Weld.</p>

<p>Also this trick:</p>

<p>If the lens threads and the shutter threads are _almost_ the same, but the shutter is slightly larger, you can wrap the lens thread with plumbers' teflon tape, then screw the two together. I did that a set that was very close, but not exact.</p>

<p>Remember, these types of fixes are more fragile than machined matching metal parts (but they don't cost much!</p>
