    Outstanding! This would have made the repair of my Copal shutter a LOT easier. Thank you

    This is great to see how you work with the shutter and other camera stuff on your CZcams canal, and it's good inspiration to go deeper into those old shutter's.

    Super helpful! was repairing a Copal SVE shutter on a Yashica Lynx 14 and referred to your video. For anyone else working with this, there's an extra shim that goes on top of blade #5. The blades are counted clockwise starting from the main lever.

    Super video. No one repairs these any longer.

    Sir, this was just beautiful. I have struggled through this procedure on my own, and wish CZcams had existed then. I did make it work, but it took hours. Thanks again for the great lessons!

    Great video. working on a Copal SV shutter system on an old Yashica Lynx 1000, and while not completely identical, there's a lot of similarities. in particular, I think watching your reassembly of the shutter timing mechanisms will really help me out, as I think I've located the source of my problem. none of the slow shutter speeds work on mine, just B or 1/1000. but looking at your slow speed escapement, I noticed the little pie shipped cog is placed a particular way, and I think it's out of place on mine. I think that might be the cause of it not working, as it can't actuate the other gears. I'll try fixing that and see if that works. then I'll have to move on to the aperture blades, as they fell off their mounts. thanks so much. 😊

    It took me a LOT of time to service a SLV Copal shutter. My main problems are the m/x synch contacts, which Im not sure if it’s set right and some sort of fine time adjustments on this kind of shutter. After the cleaning and reassemble time is slightly off

    This video was very helpful for fixing a sluggish Copal 0 shutter I have. Do you do requests? I would really like to see how to CLA a Kodak Supermatic shutter like the one on my 1948 vintage Crown Graphic. There must be thousands of those shutters still in use, but they're getting very old and need of some love

    Great to see content like this on CZcams! My shutter speed dial is really stiff to turn. It can be done, but it doesn't feel normal. My other shutter is silky smooth compared to this one. Does anyone know if this could be an easy fix? Thanks!

    Thanks for your information , please talk about copal mxv for yashica 635

    Should one be touching the internal parts with bare fingers? Won't the finger oils and acidic quantities affect the components over time?

    I have a Copal #0 produced for a Nikkor SW lens. Upon reinstalling the shutter blades, there is an additional spacer that I presume is to be placed atop one of the blades - but which one? I cannot see this piece in your video or other guides I have come across. I can only see reference to in in an exploded parts-diagram of an older Copal shutter but it's not clear onto which blade it should be placed.
