Barrel lenses on Betax #5 shutter
Not the most elegant solution, but it works! A barrel lens with a cardboard ‘lens board’ snugly fit to the back of the lens. Then with 4 rubber bands, I ‘mount’ the barrel lens & cardboard onto the front of the Betax shutter. With these small lenses, I get no loss of coverage, and use of the betax shutter speeds!
here is a video of the shutter working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke9zehk2sfw
