First of all, because it was not needed before. All shutter families have developed consistently, they have been perfectly developed technologically and the production of all shutters was profitable. Yes, some shutters were the result of high technology and expensive materials. But all these solutions were economically reasonable in the mass production of photographic equipment in the past. There was no need to invent a simple and high-quality new shutter when there were ready-made and mass-produced solutions. And today we can’t make a high-quality and inexpensive shutter, based on the previous shutter designs.

Therefore, I decided to return to the concept of a synchronous shutter (one hundred years back in the history of camera development) and make a high-quality and simple shutter using ideas that were not further developed at that time. The idea of synchronicity gives simplicity of design and, as a result, low-cost production.

There is another point: my shutter requires special properties for the curtain material, it must have different physical properties along two axes. This feature that will make it possible to create curtains of constant thickness, without additional elements (which were used in shutter curtains, for example, the Leica). And it is this feature that will allow us to get high accuracy of the shutter. I guess, it was almost impossible to make such curtains a hundred years ago, but today this is a completely solvable task.
