I'm new to LF and have been playing with my new-to-me Shen Hao HZX-IIA. I love it so much and I haven't even taken a picture yet.
I have noticed that some of the movements are really tight. When I'm moving the front standard to extend the bellows, the knob that I'm turning takes a little more muscle than what I've seen from folks on YouTube with the same camera. I am talking about the knob that is camera right, I know that the other knob is the lock. In the rear, the locking lever for rear swing will fully swing to the left (unlock) but I can only move it about half way in the other direction to lock it. I'm scared that if I push it, I'll crack the camera some how. Is this normal? Will these movements loosen with time or do I need to lube something?
Thanks!
I just wanted to add that I might have some of the wording wrong, so forgive me.
