The 8x10 P2 Meter Back has a lovely hydraulic tampering system that results in a very soft closing of the back when you remove the holder.
However, with my back, it seems that, every so often, the hydraulics don't "kick in" properly and the back snaps back hard quickly. Then, after that, it somehow heals itself and returns to the nice soft closing action. I can't intentional repeat the aberration, but it seems like (and I'm not 100% sure about this) it happens after the camera sits unused for a bit. The first closing snaps shut hard, subsequent closings are soft and sweet.
Has anyone had this same experience? Any ideas?
