I'm new to large format and though it’s been a trial, I plan to persevere! My latest challenge is understanding why my Graphic 23 6x9 roll film holder sometimes exposes only half of the first negative, and produces ghosting on the “second”. My film loading procedure is as follows: make sure the counter is set to S, wind the film around and insert in the take up spool, advance until the arrows meet, insert in the holder and close, wind until it stops at 1.
Also, my holder is the wind knob kind, but also has rollers on the inside which apparently ensure film flatness. Any comments on whether I should expect sufficient flatness from this kind of holder?
Thanks!
