    Description

    Giant size Alphax shutter, 95mm outer diameter, 59.4mm lens opening
    Weight 312gm, 11 oz.  No lens and no iris.
    Shutter ring won't move past 10, so 5 and 2 aren't currently available, but
    a competent shutter fixer may be able to resurrect the 1/5, and 1/2 speeds
    that almost nobody ever uses anyway.  The others work well and sound right.
    This one is so rare that I couldn't find one anywhere to compare with it.
    Just for the person with big old lenses and 8X10 or larger view cameras.
    It's really too large for any 5X7's except possibly the prewar Agfa-Ansco
    We used it with our VO8 Deardorff a few times with really big lenses
    that have
    already been sold, and the camera, separately.
