Ok, I've gone out and bought myself a norma 4x5 for my first large format camera, and I have devoured these pages for tutorials on how to adjust movements and focus.
However, I have a problem that is probably just too dumb for words. How do I make fine adjustments? I pick a near and far point for focus for example, and guess at an initial tilt. Then I go to make a small adjustment: the tilt changes as I unlock the standard, changes more as I make a hamfisted try at increasing or decreasing the amount, and then changes again as I lock it back down. How do you make tiny adjustments on an ungeared camera? Shifts and rise are somewhat easier, however, it is actually not very easy to make minor progressive changes. Any advice would be appreciated!
(BTW, there's no posting category for 4x5!)
