Hi All, I'm new to LF photography however I have read up lots about the processes. I am already a photographer but new to LF.
I have just assembled a Sinar F1 that I just bought send hand (my first ever LF Camera - really exciting)
However before I start burning film a few questions to make sure I've set it up properly.
1. I have bubbled up on all levels. When the bubbles are all level there is a slight arc in the bellows i.e.. the front plate and back plate are at a slight V shape (very slight) is this normal or should they be level?
2. How far apart to set the bellows to a neutral position to start with.
3. When I set the horizontal; movement i.e. forward and back to zero on the side slide scale - I presume I should then zero the +/- dial on the dial knob at the front?
3. When Im looking at the ground glass I presume I just turn the movement tracker back and forth until the image is sharp....
Any advice here would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
