Newbie question: how best to use a 9x12 ICA Reflex?

Iag, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Just checked and they do actually say "ICA" Hüttig Dresden.

Here is my first try!
Thanks to all of you, especially J Caldwell and Photonsoup for their instructive videos

Just for reference:
Camera: ICA Dresden Reflex + Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 180mm f4.5 @ 4.5 (dating back to around 1926)
Film: Instax Wide (after exposure with ICA returned into and developed in Instax 210)

There are obvious lightleaks: could be my handling in (not so) dark room, or in-camera, or leaky film holder. Need more experimenting. Any opinion welcome!

And here is my second try. No lightleaks this time, but bad framing. Compare it with similar shot taken with the Instax 210.
