I bought a Sinar Vario roll film holder a little while back and now I'm trying to get used to it enough to be comfortable with it.
The inside cover of the back has diagrams showing the loading sequence, but I'm confused on a couple of points:
1. Where does one put the Start arrows? The diagram seems to indicate at the roller at the opposite end from the holder, but this seems like a lot of paper being pulled out off the roll.
2. Is the film capsule that nestles into the holder supposed to be approximately light tight? If so, that might address the first issue.
If anyone has a manual, you know what I need.
It looks slick, by the way. There are no rollers upstream from the image frame, so no chance of the film taking a set causing a ripple that will upset film flatness. But I think I will make and paste little tables equating frame numbers with the centimeters left, which is how the holder tells that story. 220 is also on my agenda as the next big experiment.
I actually have the service manual, but have been unable to find the user instructions.
