Is that for the camera body? From the book?
Does anyone know how to date the optar? I bought that seperately. It's in a graphex shutter. If the shutter has any numbers on it, I don't see them
Thanks again! |

That's the only place Gandolf gets the dates.
I don't think anyone has dates for Optars by serial number. Type of flash sync and type of connector will era date the shutter. No sync=flash power days; bi-post M (flashbulb) only '30's or '40's; X and M bipost '50's?; x only pc socket '60's or early '70's. Others may smooth out my rough guestimates.
