Your auction was shared in a Facebook group I'm in, and I shared it on my FB page for Packard. I'd like to share it on Instagram, but I don't think I can directly share a link. Can I use your pictures, especially of the shutter? I will try to figure a way to include a link back to the auction.
Incidently, I've never seen a Packard Shutter mounted inside a lens before, this is pretty interesting. If the buyer needs it serviced, Packard is still in business and can repair and refurb shutters.
Thank you,
