| While cleaning my sticky shutter, I went and did it...ripped one of the shutter Leafs. Anyone know where replacements can be had? Specifically one for a Carl Zeiss Jena 135 Compur Nr. 2423172. Thanks. |

A). Find another shutter.
B). Make a new shutter blade.
Portra 100 works well, glue two layers together for strength.

I couldn't pass this without question...
Have you used Porta 100 to replace a shutter blade, for real??? Does it really last?
Something I would never have thought of, but well worth keeping in mind!
Thanks...

Two blades in a Wollensak Studio Shutter. Glued 2 pieces together once cut to pattern, emulison to emulsion . I don't use the shutter much but it's light tight and functions properly.
The film was out of date and had a heavy color shift so I used an unexposed/unprocessed sheet. Other sheet film may work also.
A sheet of mylar would be better.

Charles, a couple of years ago I dismantled a shutter from an ex-RAF AGI F135 aerial camera. The shutter and diaphragm blades were made of a very thin plastic, quite possibly mylar. So, yes, real serious shutters have been made with plastic blades.
Cheers,
