Hello Loren,

Look forward to hearing about your experiences with the Wollensak.  Maybe
it's a common lens ;-)

Gues that there were not too many made as they must have been expensive
pieces of kit at the time.....

Packard shutters are available new - cannot find the URL right now but the
company is on the web.  It may even be Calumet....... Try a search if
Calumet do not stock 'em.

The Packards are reasonably priced and about the same price as well used
versions make on Ebay.

Do you drive an old station wagon? ;-)


All the best,
