The largest shutter I own: focal plane shutter on the pre-anniversary Speed Graphic.

I love the noise of winders.

My favorite Pentax, the Super Program (Program A) with Motor Drive A.

Can’t beat the #SoundsOfShutters from a 19th century (c.1890?), working Thornton-Pickard “time and instant” roller blind shutter. Has selectable speeds from 1/15-1/90!

19th-century Radiguet Tailboard Camera sporting a Vulagricatrice “extra rapide” RR lens.

Silens external shutter, on the Astragon 210 4.5, on my 8x10 Seneca.

The Big behemoth, Mamiya RB67 with motor winder. I feel like this didn’t adequately capture the “thunk”.

The Ricoh Xr-P, with XR-winder 2 grip. An awesome and underloved camera that is not a Pentax super program.

A thread of #SoundsOfShutters for Bsky.

Starting with a favorite, the ensign special reflex: the long shutter lever cranks a big mirror out of the way mechanically before tripping the (somewhat finicky and complex) focal plane shutter.
