"These shutters were generally used before my time and would like to hear
other's experiences with these classic shutter"
What an understatement! LOL These have been around since the turn of the LAST
century, I have a few when it was the Michigan Shutter Company. I have 3 that I
use regularly. I keep each in a large
ziploc bag to keep the dust away from the piston. With practice you can get a
good solid 1/10. If need be a hard squeeze will get you a 20th. The smaller
versions will do a 30th. They work for ever and are nearly vibrationless.
Thanks, Ken

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! ". Rich
