andrew_spence1 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 got a broken one cheap off e bay i thought id see what was wrong with it for a bit of fun it had 3 shutter speeds plus bulb max aperture of f 6.3 and an 80mm lens well..........turns out the epsilon shutter was beyond me as it needed a complete new part made to replace a broken one i suppose i could have tried to make the part but i thought it wouldnt be worth the time....this time anyway So i found a nice spare shutter lens in my spares box i thought i would put it in the camera a 75mm voigtlander vaskar f4.5 in a pronto shutter with a nice blue coating It fitted it and i was easily able to calibrate the 75mm lens to infinity i dont know where the spare 5 mm went lol lol and the shutter release on the lens matched the cameras release mechanism with a little bend and it closes perfectly so now i have 4 speeds plus b and 2 extra stops i now really want to use the camera i suppose thats one way to want to use a folder and what should i call it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_foreman1 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I have a Vito II 50mm 3.5 Skopar with this "blue" like coating. The 4.5 Vaskar on my Bessa is ok, but I would like to put a later Skopar. As it is I have an uncoated Skopar.. One should count their blessings...it seems you always want what you don't have. .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I think you should call it Graham. I've had a couple of these Kershaws. The shutter button concealed along the edge of the front door caught me out both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
