I have recently gotten a B&J 8x10 field camera. There seemed to be no "zero" markings on the camera to denote where is the center point (or optical axis) between the front and the rear standard. And also there is no marking to show zero swing and tilt (meaning the front and rear standards are parallel).
I would like to ask what are some of the ways to find these parameters on my B&J field camera.
1. Optical center to align front and rear standard
2. Parallelism between front and rear standard
*I suppose when B&J deisgned a camera, they should have the "zero" in mind as a starting point for photographer. How come I do not see them?
