bruce_appel Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I have a speed graphic with a 127 ektar lens with a shutter that does not fire.I see lots of shutters for sale, but what size will fit this lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_firth3 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 This is a very common lens and is probably in a Supermatic shutter which is a pretty reliable shutter that can be serviced. These lenses are not expensive and you might find another one with a working shutter for about what the repair charge would be. The lens could be mounted in a modern shutter but the cost of the shutter and labor charges would be more than the lens is worth. It is not just a simple matter of screwing the lens into the new shutter. The Ektars are good lenses but they predate the standard shutter sizes.

mark_sampson Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Talk to Adam at www.skgrimes.com about your shutter. Until it's fixed, just use the focal-plane shutter- most of us don't have that option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_kasaian1 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Bruce, 127 ektars usually live in a Supermatic No.2, which isn't the same as a Copal No.2.--------Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
