Question

I found a photoelectric shutter and I want to do something with it. I tried google to see what it does but it didn't help. I mean is it to make a camera, use with a camera???? I also found some really old cameras so if its for a camera i have it. Please give me step by step details.

Answer 1

Most of the photoelectric shutters were made for the large lenses used on view cameras.  

Tell us what old cameras you have and we can tell you more accurately how to install and use the shutter.
