The Copal shutter itself is made in Japan. Sinar is swiss, they made the
rest of it (the board, mount, cable/setting piece, etc.  The linhof-clone
lens board was made in china.  Fairly simple to decipher.  It¹s 3 separate
things made 3 separate places.

Given the tiny size of that lens, why waste the effort with a huge sinar
shutter on a Technika adapter?  Any of the smaller normal 0, 1, or 3
shutters would have easily fit that lens, and could probably front-mount
the lens so it would be MUCH smaller package. The lens looks like it could
easily mount up to a copal 0, which is not only much smaller and cheaper
than a sinar shutter, but also runs up to 1/500 where the Sinar tops out
much lower than that.
