  2. Best practices for testing light leaks in new film holder - 12x20

    I got a new (to me) 12x20 holder for my Folmer Schwing 12x20. It is not a Folmer Schwing film holder. I shaved down the ridge on one side to test it out.

    Re: Iris clamp mounted to Sinar Copal shutter

    I got the Sinar universal adapter today. It’s pretty easy to get the vertical portion of the standard off- just remove a locking screw and the square board/bellows clamp part slides right off.
