Description

From the seller
Shutter assembly- I got this back in the 70s from a surplus store called Meshna in Lynn MA. It was used for aerial reconnaissance photography during the cold-war. This is very large aperture and very high speed. There are actually two shutters in this assembly, they operate nearly simultaneously. Very neat piece of camera technology history, and a rather striking piece. If you know any more about it please let me know.
