Fate has now caught up with me. I leave in the morning for a 5 day trip to the Smoky Mountains. As I was packing my 8x20 I noticed that the bottom pin on the film back was missing. I found the pin....now the pickle. The top piece has broken off and the pin is too darn small to fit back into the wood properly. Now what in the heck can be done? I can always have a new pin sent to my hotel and lose a few days of shooting time.......not worth that. A screw into the wood could be very bad. Any ideas for a short term fix? Maybe a trip to the hardware store?
