I finally got my 'Gift' 1950's German Voigtlander 'B' shutter to work properly ! It did suffer 'Premature Shutter Release Fault' -- I joined the 'Vito B and Vitos' Groups on Flickr and on there was a bloke who had taken off the top plate of a Vito B and lubricated things. So I did it on mine, lubricating the 60 year old levers and pivots with a minute amount of sewing machine oil . Then put in a 'test Film' and exercised shutter and found when I wound on the shutter did NOT release any more ! So out I went into Brentwood Town today loaded with a short length of Fuji Superia 200.
I used mostly the /1300th second shutter speed but metered as if it was 1/200th reckoning it would run 'slow' - The Hamnburger Pic was 1/30th at f11 and Grave was 1/60th at f5.6. The others were 1/300th at f8 or f 14.
