Here's another option.....
My C set came in it's original case which wouldn't allow for a shutter.
If I had the lens put into a shutter I'd lose the ability to use the
case....
My solution was to have Steve Grimes make up one of his patented O ring
filter adapters, but instead of thread to a filter it threads to the
back of an Alphax shutter (from a useless Oscillo raptar). I normally
shoot with a packard, but when I want half assed accuracy, I can slip
the shutter on like a filter, in the front. The shutter blades are
nearly up against the front element so there's no vignetting. I keep
this in a leather case a bit bigger than a chewing tobacco tin.
