    Grafmatic

    I used my Grafmatic today for the first time in a while. I keep it loaded with an alternate film. When using it today I had a brain hiccup that made me use it like a regular holder, ie darkslide left pulled out when taking the picture. Did I fog all the sheets in the holder or just have a focus error on this one? It was the first sheet in the holder so I only loose the film, not the images.

    I've done that. No you didn't fog all the sheets, and your focus is probably fine. There is still plenty of spring in there without the darkslide.

    I have had fogging down through the cutout in all the septums but it didn't extend more than a quarter inch. Top septum/film was focused properly. Bob

    Dave,

    Yes very easy to do. As Bob says you will get the cut outs on all six sheets burnt out but the rest should be fine. When I'm using a Grafmatic I now go through a little routine - OK what is this strange holder? A grafmatic. How do you use it again? Up, down. Picture. Lock, up, down. Grafloks. You get strange looks but it saves on film.
