Camera Shutter Lens Origami. In a camera like the film versions of the leica rangefinders, the shutter was in the back of the camera, just in front of the film (referred to as a focal plane shutter). It also looks and works like an aperture , moving inwards or outwards instead of up and down.
The advantage of a leaf shutter is that it’s faster than any other. Close the lid and make sure the pinhole shutter is closed. The size to performance ratio of the xcd 21mm lens really caught me off guard.
