Hi! A friend of mine enabled himself with 4x5 camera with Schneider Kreuznach Symmar 1:5,6 / 210 lens. This camera/lens has Synchro Compur #1 shutter. Unfortunately the shutter needs repair. Ideally I would like to get technical/repair manual or at least a sketch of the shutter using which he

Boris, I suppose if you can fix a watch you can fix a Compur shutter, but I'd never attempt it myself. The extra data on the lens indicates that it's a convertible lens. As a symmetrical lens (Symmar, get it?) it has two approximately identical optical groups, one each side of the

Hi! There are books, even on eBay, about shutter repair. Check Ed Romney's material. Oh! Collin et al g, is there any one who has this manual? If so, would this person be willing to scan the schematics figures from this book and send them to me by e-mail off-list? Thanks in advance. Boris

I don't have drawn schematics, but I remember finding an article online about disassembling the shutter. Do a search for compur shutter on google and you should be able to find it. The problem is that there are MANY small pieces to come flying out, and there are springs under some pretty tight
