Hi all,
I'm the proud new owner of a Linhof Techika IV outfit, for the moment I'm just going to use the Super Rollex roll-film backs but it's been 20 years since I've loaded a 120 film (and never one of these)...can anyone give me some pointers pl ease?
My first roll was missing the first frame because I was scared to pull too much backing paper out. I've since practiced loading the holder using the backing pap er and I know a little more now!
Am I correct in thinking that I should wind the backing paper through until the arrow on the paper appears in the little oval cut-out window?
Can I load 120 film in similar light levels to 35mm? How light-tight is the back ing paper?
The insert holding the roll of film goes into the holder both ways (I can have t he winder lever on either side). I'm assuming it doesn't matter which way this g oes in, am I correct?
Does the counter reset automatically? (I'll have another fiddle with it in the m eantime).
So many questions! (don't worry, there'll be more!!!)
