Fastest shutter speed 1/150sec. Canon EOS lens mount and selectable Back mount.

Hi chiek!  This is very interesting.  Can you talk more about how the shutter is working?

Ilex no. 3 shutter reverse design.
This shutter works no cocking press type.
please watch this video (youtube)
https://youtu.be/-assOTtp5Pc (https://youtu.be/-assOTtp5Pc)

its rear lens mounts located to closer to shutter, It means no vignetting images.

Actually Kapturegroup Truewide produce only 36x36mm images and need cock the shutter.
But my design can produce 37x49mm + shift range 5mm (my OM35 shift lens)

Hi Chiek

Is it possible to use a release cord to fire the shutter?

Regards

Big companies should take note of this guy. He makes (even with his very limited resources) cool ideas come to life, quickly.

Neat project! Which lenses have you tested with it? I've long been curious about this concept (135 SLR lenses mounted to MFDB with #3 shutter) but was unsure what coverage of popular small-format lenses was like.

Keep up the good work!
