Editing Vario


The '''Vario''' is a long-lived series of leaf shutters that were made by the German company [[Gauthier]] based in Calmbach.

The Vario appeared in 1912, the same year as the [[Pronto]], and both shutter models were modified in 1929.<REF> ''Shunkan o torae-tsuzukeru shattā-ten'', p.&nbsp;6. </REF>

Most Vario shutters have 25, 50, 100, B, T speed settings. Another wide-spread variant has the speeds 1/25 sec., 1/50 sec., 1/200 sec., and B.
After (during?) World War I Vario shutters were copied by the French manufacturer [[Gitzo]] and marketed under a number of names ('Platos', 'Plavicos', 'Vistar', 'Gitzo' (see [[Gitzo Shutters]]).
