Well, as I mentioned Paul Ebel describes it as "best practice". Certainly it seems one can change the shutter after it's cocked and I did for a while on my TLR. Then one day my shutter locked right up on me and needed full repair. Was that the reason? Hard to tell. But I certainly feel more "strain" as I try to change the shutter speed if the shutter is cocked vs when it's not. I imagine one could get away with it for years.....and then one day.....
I still do it sometimes but try not to now.

Hm. Well, in that case I have been sinning against shutters for more than 50 years. Perhaps it will catch up to me one day, but meanwhile it has been a good run. ;-)
