I found a local fabricator who is going to make an adapter so I can use my c.1890s E&HT Anthony wide angle RR in a Copal 1 shutter for $40. I won't have to endure the derision of my wife when I duct tape the lens into the shutter any more! I'm now thinking of adapting another shutter to one of my two Petzvals, a 5 inch Darlot or 6 inch Derogy. Instead of mounting it on the rear, I had a thought of mounting it between the lens and the lens hood, using the threads on both. Has anyone ever done this? Would it work? I'm thinking that while a rear mounted shutter might have less vibration, mounting it on the front might work just as well as the lenses have a fair amount of mass.
