Hi - I just bought a cheap Wollensak Alphax shutter to use as a mount for a pinhole/zone plate. I don't know anything about it, but think that it was one of those jobs that was modified for the speed reading/aircraft identification system. It came mounted on a flange that was glued to a 3X3 gel frame that was stuffed with three layers of Rolux-like diffusion and one layer of an ND gel. It has a huge 45mm (+/-) opening that's stopped at f6.3-22, and has T,B and F as shutter speeds. ( All I need is T or B.)
Two Questions: 1.) What's the cheapest, easiest way to mount the plate? (I'd rather save Steve Grimes for the big jobs.) I assume that I want to mount my plate near the center to minimize vignetting, and there's a 1/4 in. ledge around the diaphram that would allow me to do that with something as simple as a couple of washers. What do I use for a retaining ring? 2.) What kind of cable release does this take? It has a post, but it doesn't seem to be threaded for modern CR's. thanks in advance, heller _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
