I have been searching for the thread where a home made "shutter" was made by Jim Galli..
Just can't find it.. (must learn to search better)...
However, I have this georgeus old Cooke Series IIa 250mm F 3.5 lens.
Fitted on a nice old wodden camera..
But no shutter. :o
by chance I then noticed, that the lid of a normal Patterson tank system fits like a glove!!! :D
Almost like it was made to do it..
So now I can make my pictures with this "shutter" ("lens cap") system.
Works fine.
Now I have to see, whether this also fits my other Cooke (14.5")
