COPAL SHUTTERS IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

Copal Brand shutters have been made in their current version by Copal Co, Tokyo, Japan for about fifteen years. Supplied with all new view camera lenses made today, they are simple, reliable, and economical. The performance and price of Copal shutters is such that they are often a practical improvement over restoration or repair of obsolete or worn equipment. Many lenses will fit directly from their old shutters to new, needing only the appropriate iris scale and mounting to the lensboard.

We routinely complete changeovers to new shutters,
mounted to your lensboard and ready to use.
