Leaf shutters actual speed depends a lot on the shooting aperture. At

There is a tremondous difference between a Copal #0/00 and a 1 or 3. I
usually don't make any corrections with the #0/00 but do make corrections

I once owned a 6X7 and had both the 90 and 160 leaf shutter lenses.
These lenses I used for primary flash photography and,
With those, the shutter was in the body and the interchangeable lens was the
