This is my trusty IIIR with a new cool addition. The Plaubel Makina Focal Plane Shutter, with speeds up to 1/1000 second. Aside from the action stopping ability, it will allow me to use high speed film at more wipe-open apertures. An advantage for me under some conditions. A rare item to be sure, probably the most difficult to find accessory in the Makina system. I know a photographer in NYC who has two of these, and he shares my enthusiasm for this shutter's use. the focal plane shutter release is just to the right of the rear optical eyepiece.
You crank the bellows back to the wide angle setting, and it focuses perfectly at infinity which I have confirmed with a Makina groundglass.
