All,
I've been shooting MF for nearly a decade now and 35mm for at least a couple before that. New to LF.
I've had an 8 X 10 (C1) for some time now but only dabbled.
Recently, I got a great deal on a Calumet monorail 4 X 5 and the film (Arista EDU) just arrived yesterday. I couldn't get a good neg to save my life.
Then, I noticed "M", "X", & "V" on the lens barrel. Here I am thinking it's the development.
I switched from "M" to "X" and all seems to be right with the world.
I post this, despite my embarrasment at my obvious ignorance, for two reasons.
1. I couldn't seem to find the info in a search (other noobs may benefit).
2. I want to be clear I now have it right.
So, is this correct?
"X" = Electronic Flash
"M" = Medium Peak Flash Bulb (AKA: virtually useless now)
"V" = Self Timer
TIA,
Paul
