I have acquired a Schneider Xenar 150/4.5
in a Synchro Compur #1 shutter.
The trigger the shutter by the body release there is a little tag attached to a rod at the side of the front standard.
If you have a Pacemaker Graphic you might understand what I mean.
Can you use it as is by adjusting the tag & rotating the lens?

I would also like a viewfinder mask for the lens. Its a 150mm, what's that in Imperial?
I think I need viewfinder mask #9.
Are they impossible to get?

The little tab that clamps onto the rod was made in different lengths. If you can't get the shutter possitioned so the tab will actuate the release lever, you may need to find a different tab. Probably the long one which I understand is hard to find.
