It has also a new form of shutter, with closed metallic pneumatic regulation, giving speeds of 1/100 to ½ second, and pneumatic and hand release. There are two levels, finders giving correct views with different lenses in the same camera, self-contained focussing screen, and focussing scales for each lens. A shutter protector is placed behind the lens, so that plates need not be otherwise covered if the lens is removed.
