My new Arca 6x9 F-line Metric will be here this week. As many of you know, from my previous question filled posts, Ive been waiting for Arca to deliver a shi pment of new cameras to Robert White U.K. they arrived last Thursday and mine is in transit now. This of course brings me to yet another question, no big surpr ise here. Since this camera obviously uses roll film only, my question concerns film plan e vs. ground glass location. After careful focusing, for which Ill use an 8x l oupe to verify ground glass sharpness. I will have to remove the ground glass t o install an Arca roll film holder adapter and film back, Ill be using a new Ho rseman film back. How closely will the film plane now match the ground glass lo cation, for which I spent considerable effort focusing for sharpness??? Is this really much of an issue with Arcas, if so how do you check and subsequently ad just this relationship??? Since Ill be using a 6x7 or 6x9 back, I know that I ll need very accurate focusing to make the most of a relatively small piece of f ilm. Hence my concern, thanks again for all the help in the past.
