one tip, for them, Don't have a long throw cable release, the cocking lever hangs up, it can't lock in the cocked position if the release(lever or cable in the socket) hasn't fully retracted.
thanks, I have a lens with this shutter ( in a Linhof tech iii 5x7") different case and the t\b\m is a post in a slot at the bottom, but similar in design, one nice thing about them is that the lens screws onto a flange nut, which is permanently screwed onto the lens board, so it is easy to change board styles, from one make to another, without having the screwdriver tool for the lockring, the speed dial has a cylinder on the top, allowing one to push the lens in the tightening or loosening direction of the screw thread.
Thank you Allen for taking the time making this series. Its been very helpful to me as I clean and repair this old 150mm f3.5 Tessar lens I have. Spanner head screws scared me for a second, but came out fine using the points of a compass. A loose screw holding one of the shutter blades was causing the blade to not fully close correctly, thus fogging my film. Should be back together again today. Thanks again. P.S. I’ve visited your website and really enjoy your photographs.
i recently acquired an Ica Nixe that uses a slightly different compur shutter (only has options I,B, & T, no Z, D, or M) i can't seem to get it to switch out of I mode, and also can't set the speed dial anywhere other than 1 or 2, wether the shutter is cocked or not. is it possible its just gunked up inside or did the previous owner damage something?
@@allensmithphotography okay this is photography only lens then. I was reading about zeiss planar that had compur shutter and they removed that shutter to mount it on film camera. i was thinkinh why would they put shutter in a lens?
Sorry for the late reply, but the shutter in lens was the first steps to integrated shutters. They were made for faster media like film and dry plates in large format cameras and were adapters and evolved into compact and folding cameras.

You are most welcome. And thank you for your kind words.
@@allensmithphotography The shutter runs like it was brand new and zero parts left over!😃
@@alexanderstavroudis6901 yay

You are most welcome. Glad I could help

If the dials are stuck, then yes it's likely very gummed up and some of the levers are seized in place.
hey Allen, is this shutter in the lens? or it is shutter of film camera? i didn't understand what is this shutter used for?
It's a fair question. This is a large format lens with built in shutter. The camera it came on is a 9cm x 12cm folding camera.
