I do not know the specific equipment but do you not just set the leaf shutter
to B when using with a focal plane shutter?

Does the shutter have a "T" on it? Bet that would work...

Or, just go get a manual.

I sorted it.

Set the lens to "F", on the hand grip move the lever to Start to open the
iris. Now that is what I call intuetive!

Did you actuate the winding mechanism before attaching the lens? And
cock the lens/shutter before attaching the lens?
