Yesterday I obtained a Calumet C2 Film holder (6*7) which can be slipped beneath the ground glass. It took me some time to figure out how to load the thing: there is a a manual for a C2N on lin (http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.southbristolviews.com%2Fpics%2FGraphic%2Fmanual-pdf%2Fins_c2n.pdf&ei=b--eUuTyOMu70wXI0YHQBg&usg=AFQjCNHQVCDQFU2mV716-PHsuuerNPPd5w&sig2=U2dKNgsTWcHse-_lakjvhg&bvm=bv.57155469,d.d2k)e as well as a helpful YouTube movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmXg2d2JOh4).
Anyway my question is more about how to slip the holder behind the spring ground glass: I have a Sinar back, and it can open wide enough to let the holder be slipped in. The problem is that you have to take care that the holder does not touch the inside/rough side of the ground glass when slipping in (I now know why the previous owner of my Sinar/INKA has scratched the ground glass).
Is this a known fact, or do I miss something and do this wrong..any tricks/experiences?
(I now slip 2-3 cm in, than lift the other side of the back (which is still "closed") up and slide the holder all the way, it seems with this procedure the back does not touch the glass)
thanks,
best,
Cor
