They are a very helpful company, I got a shutter and accessories from them
about 5 years ago for an old 19" brass process lens. Did you get the sync'ed
version to use with strobes.
They work great, only problem I have is the process lens was really too
sharp for portraiture.

Hi!
I have a 14" f/9 Apo-Ronar barrel lens mounted on a 6" board for an
8x10 Kodak 2D. A test shot of some book titles on the shelf looks good and
the aim is to use this lens for portraits.
So after months of searching eBay for a Packard shutter, google search
found www.packardshutter.com. I called them up, talked for 20 minutes to
the owner, Reno, who carefully explained what would fit.
I'm getting one and can hardly wait to squeeze that
rubber bulb! These shutters were generally used before my time and would
like to hear other's experiences with these classic shutter. Rich
