I've been using the 164/4 for outdoor portraiture. It's a great lens and quite easy to use. You simply set the camera shutter speed at 1/8 second, then set the leaf shutter as required. Like any leaf shutter, the shutter must be cocked for each shot. Of course you can't use TTL metering, since the

Since it is quiet on the list, I thought I would make a comment. Based on the last couple of times I have used the 67 for some outdoor portraits, I have been dealing with sun and shadows. With my old PZ-1p's or my MZ-S's I would simply put on the flash and use the relatively high flash synch to d

st off, there are leaf shutter lenses in most 35mm rangefinders, aren't there? As for 35mm _SLR_ leaf shutters, I did get a chance to examine a curious old camera a friend of mine inherited. It was an SLR with a leaf shutter. When the shutter was fired, first the leaf shutter closed, then

Actually I disagree with the usefulness of leaf shutter lenses for a 35mm SLR. It would be a function that pros and a few advanced amateurs might use. Since most manufacturers have a body or bodies that sync at 1/250, and most leaf shutters have a max shutter speed of 1/500 the advantage would be

OT 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 for the 1 and 3s. I once owned a 6X7 and had both the 90 and 160 leaf shutter lenses. These lenses I used for primary flash photography and, f

Hi Shel, Leaf shutters actual speed depends a lot on the shooting aperture. At any speed setting, the equivalent speed will increase as the aperture becomes smaller. As a result, I calibrate my shutters based on my typical shooting aperture of 16 - 32 for my view optics. Calumet supplies

In fact there have been interchangeable lens 35mm cameras with leaf shutters. The Retina Reflex comes to mind. A not well known fact is the Retina Reflex III and IV used the same lens as the Retina IIIS rangefinder camera (except the 200mm that did not work on the RF), how is that for versatility
