I don't know exactly what an oscilliscope shutter is, but I have a need for
some sort of shutter for a surplus 900m f6 lens I bought. The rear element
is about 5" across.
I was thinking of trying to make some sort of focal plane shutter.

The lens has a shutter in it (with a nice diaphragm) but the shutter is
calibrated for 1/150 and 1/300 only. I need something that will work much
slower and include a Bulb (time exp) setting. Accuracy is not too important
as I'll be doing mostly B&W.

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
