: Can I switch the cells on my 2 lenses??

: I use the 127mm lens more, and I like the 135mm's
: shutter.

: The 127mm is in a kodak supermatic (X)
: the 135mm is in a Graflex (wollensak) (X)

Pete,
Go ahead and see if the cells fit, then run some test shots. I've never tried the switch you're contemplating, but I will say that in my experience the Graphex shutter is indeed superior to the Kodak Supermatic (and the Synchro-Compur also, for that matter), so I can readily understand your impulse to switch out the lens elements. I'm sure there are those who will disagree with my opinion on the Graphex vs. Kodak and Compur, but I can only relate my experience in the matter. Good luck! Henry
