    PACKARD SHUTTER, Front Mounted

    A recent post discussed mounting a Packard shutter on the front of the lens if it was too big to fit behind the lensboard.

    Here's how I dealt with a 6 inch square one...

    An aluminum ring large enough to fit my largest lens...
    Three holes drilled and tapped for #6 screws...
    Bonded onto the back of the shutter with J-B weld...

    The steel screws in the photo were replaced with nylon screws to avoid marking the lens.
