[LargeFormat] xenar question

[philip lambert]

Dear Simon Jessurun

It must be a large dial set shutter with a range of speeds on a small dial.
these only work when the other setting is m (moment) and cocked. If you want
to use time (T) you choose the setting z (zeit) which will open the shutter
when you press the release and close it at the next press. I don't think you
have to cock the shutter for z (so it's handy for focussing) and similarly
b is bulb or brief  time,
 which opens when you press the shutter release or cable and closes when you
let it go.  I hope this comment helps. Regards
Philip Lambert
