He is correct when he says it is 'rare'.

so how do you see thru the viewfinder? with the back open you can see through to the lens? I doubt this would work...would it?

You can always shed the lens and get an Exakta mount one. No problem.
The lens says something like f=5cm ...anastigmat. Probably from a folder. Kodak-anastigmat? The lens does not look like an original either. Very strange.
Might be for a special application that needed flash sync at higher speeds, with fixed camera position.

It would work......but!......you set the compur to b, and focus, then set the compur to the speed required, and then set the camera to b, press the body release to do so, and then you take the shot with the compur.......a total mess..... It could be a total conversion, with the focal blinds removed, and reflex viewing disabled, but the transport left working! The easiest way would be to leave the compur on B, and use the main shutter! Seriously, it must have been a requirement for flash sync as I first suggested............maybe a lab user, or engineering shots with a ring flash etc. Stephen
