Copal 3 shutters

[colrehogan]

Thats the problem. The Fuji 250mm SF is a Copal 3s shutter and not a normal Copal 3. The Fuji 600C is a normal Copal 3, there is no way you can interchange those two lenses. I have both of these lenses as well and confirmed it.

You will need to correct board, ie one with a 65mm hole. If I remember correctly 250mm SF has a 59mm bore.

I am a little surprised though though Copal 3s boards are rather rare. What type of board is that lens mounted on?

Hope it helps.

Gary,
This lens board was drilled specifically for this particular lens. The board is for a Century whole plate camera. I will have to see about getting one made for a Copal 3 sized shutter.

I happened to have these three shutters laying around today, and thought it might be useful to illustrate the different possible appearances of Copal 3S shutters.

All three are Copal 3S's, even though only one is so marked. All have a 56mm front cell opening, and all use the same flange size.
