jean-louis llech Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hello,<br>I seek since more than one month a <u>new</u> Compur Shutter #0.<br>It is quite impossible to find one to buy. Linhof, Prontor/Gauthier (Germany) don't have any more. Neither SK Grimes.<p>Who knows where I could find one ?<p>Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_fromm2 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Why does it have to be a Compur? Won't a Copal #0 do as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_atherton2 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 You are surely going to have a difficult time trying to find a new one, as they don't make them anymore and haven't done so for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce watson Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 They used to show up all the time on the auction service that we dare not name. Watch there, and watch all the usual suspects in the LF used equipment market. You'll find one eventually I suspect. Since they aren't made new anymore, I think that's probably the only way you'll get your hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-louis llech Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 Dan,<br> I would normally have no problems to find and buy a Copal shutter, as they are always on the new market.<br> I consider Compur shutters as being much more accurate and better manufactured than Copal ones.<br> On another way, #1 and #3 Compur shutters are faster than Copal (1/500 vs 1/250, and 1/250 vs 1/125)<br> German products are always better than japanese ones, just much more expensive. Quality must be payed the right price. That's also why they disappear.<br> Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 It's a mistake to assume that german manufacturing is better than japanese manufacturing (especially since half the stuff that is considered 'german' is actually made in japan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-louis llech Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 Please, don't worry about considerations on manufacturing quality.<br> I just search for a new Compur #0 shutter, because I prefer these shutters to other ones. Nothing else.<p> If you know where I could find one, please help me.<p> Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
