On the right a look at the shutter module used in  Bronica cameras.

While mechanical in design the speeds are controlled electronically from 1 second to 1/500 second using a magnet and timing circuitry.

A recent interesting job was an old view camera shutter with pneumatic controlled slow speed govenor.

The module on the left is a very good example of the intricacies and design of an all mechanical shutter.

This one is out of  the classic Olympus Pen F - a half frame SLR camera much sought after by collectors.

One of the little known services we provide is the conversion of D-SLR cameras for Infrared photography.

With conventional cameras you place an infrared filter in front of the lens to filter out visible light.
With a Digital SLR camera it is necessary to replace the Low Pass protection filter in front of the Image Sensor with a suitable Infrared filter.

This involves removing the sensor unit from the camera which is a delicate and reasonably costly process.
However, some very interesting results can be achieved.
