Hello,

I am looking to buy a used Speed Graphic (my first LF camera!) and I think I have enough information to make the purchase knowing that I am getting an operational camera in good working condition.

But, the seller mentioned something that I can't quite decipher and don't know how important it is to the operation of the camera.

This is what he said : " Please note, that the leaf shutter release can only be done from the front by the lens board, and not from the side."

Is that going to be a problem?

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Avi
