Hi!
Just got a new 8x10 Burke and James (been shooting for about two years with a Zone VI 4x5) and had some questions about maintenance of a camera like this. Thanks in advance for any insight!
1. Knobs and rail feel a little sticky and tough to tighten. Any suggestions on lubricating moving parts? I'm more worried about the knobs.
2. Has anybody used this camera/weight combo (about 17lbs with the Gundlach Radar 12"/Betax #5) with the Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 tripod legs? I currently have it on there but not sure how long it will last. I have Bogen 3047 head that I'm hoping to replace with the 3039 head.
3. Anybody have any good experiences with a Gundlach Radar 12" with a Betax #5 shutter? I'm a newbie to these older large format lenses and shutters. Shutter seems to be working fine but thinking about a CLA. Worth it?
Thanks again for any insight and time!
