360 Symmar element ,,Which shutter?

[h_macdonald]

Hi

 

I have a set of 360 symmar lens elements and was wondering on what

would be the correct shutter for them. Ive looked at Schneider

optics site and it refers to a "5FS" shutter which i presumed was a

compound, after searching through forums it seems to be a compound #

5

but measuring the thread on each elements they both seem to be

around 67.5 which from memory seems too small for a compound #5 as

i have an old 300 xenar in compound # 5 ? and the thread seems much

wider

i cannot check exactly my xenar in compound as i am away from home

for a while so not sure.

Where there variation on compound shutters, even though the

numbering of them was the same as in 1,2,3,4,5

The "5FS" shutter is the Compur #5 electronic, the one with the control box and cables. IIRC, it uses 6 "C" cells. Anyway, that's what a "5FS" is.

A look at Schneider's German site may give you additional information about the opto-mechanical specs about your lens and appropriate shutters for it. On www.schneider-kreuznach.com/archiv you'll find a wealth of data in pdf-files about the lenses they made from the fifties to the seventies. <br> Uli

The shutter used for this lens may have changed over the years. Your best tactic is to carefully measure the threads on the cells.

If it's the 360 f6.8 Symmar... I have mine mounted on a Copal 3 shutter. S.K. Grimes

did the mount and made up the aperture scale for it. It's a huge piece of glass but it

works like a charm!

 

You might want to contact them for more information... speak with Adam. They did a

marvelous job on it!
