4x5 Processing/scanning question

[cowanw]

I sometimes notch the corners of my films before I put them in, with finger nail clippers and match that with the number in the white window on the outside. Keep your notes and you are good to go. when the film is developed write the info in the clear bits on the border with pitt black ink pens

Thanks for the video, Bryan. That's great!

How are the little number wheels attached inside?

I've got ten of the Riteway 4x5 holders with the little number wheels - it's nice to have, but I'm not a big fan of the little dark slide locking pins that they come with. I often have to readjust the holder after sliding it in because the back of the camera isn't pushing in on the dark slide release pin enough. So - you think you're ready to take the picture and -- you can't pull the dark slide out. Re-seat the holder and try pulling it again. Repeat. A pain in the butt sometimes.

heres a pict of the release button and the notch it engages in the darkslide.When the holder is in the camera the spring back pushes it flush with back of the camera. This disengages the slide so you can pull it out. I haven't used these myself so I cant say how well they do or don't work, but playing with it in my Cambo Ledgend (Which uses a spring from a bear trap, I think) it released every time.

I'm less enthused with the release but the numbers are neat, why no one does this in the logical place (the part of the rebate that fans outward) I'll never know.

I notched electrician's tape using Bryan's method (http://theplumberbryan.com/wp-conten...2/IMG_0890.mov). Does anybody see an issue with using white tape? I tried black tape first, but found white easier to work with and to notch.

Film slide two and eight:


Each triangular notch = 1

Each square notch = 5
