Hi guys,
I have a Tachihara 4x5, and I've been puzzling over the rail markings for a while now. They start from 12 (closest to the lens) and goes all the way to 0 (at the end the rail). The markings are approximately 1 cm apart. Since the markings appear to have been glued on, is it possible that they have been installed in the wrong orientation? What I mean is, shouldn't the numbers go from 0 to 12, as the bellows extension increases? Hope someone can shed some light on this matter. I would post some photos, but I don't have an easy way to transfer them from my phone to my computer. Thanks!
