[Largeformat] Compur and Copal shutter




Hi all,

I'm sorry to come with such a newbie question, but I've looked through the
Large format www pages without finding an answer : what is the difference
between a compur and a copal shutter ?  From the spec. they offer the same
speeds.. so what ? does it have something to do with the way you can use
flash ? it is just an older kind of shutter ? seems that almost all the new
lenses are coming with copal shutter ?

Thanks in advance for your answer..
