The image below is my first shot on a Super Speed Graphic. I think I did well, except for a mysterious band that showed up in all my 10 films. After reading the Home Page and experimenting one way or the other, I found out that I inserted the 4x5 film wrongly, surprise!!! One side went into the correct track, and the other side (with the mark en the edges) went into the dark slide slot. So, when I moved the dark slide to close the holder, it did close, but creating a terrible scratch on the film, and of course, exposing a band. I inserted the whole 10 film box in the same way. First lesson. The camera came with the Schneider 135/4.7, a small jewel. Then I got the Fuji 250/6.3 and found out that it is HEAVY! This is the second lesson. I just wanted to share with you my early experience and if you have any advice, please send it over. Pepe
