I am still learning my way around LF by using my Technika IV. However, I have recently come across two don't's that I didn't know about before. I'm curious if they are correct and am if I am missing any others.
1. The front standard is engaged onto the first rail by first moving the rail back to the standard. I.e. don't make the 'jump' from the storage position to the rail. I used to make the 'jump' and now take the extra step of moving the rail back first.
2. Don't lower the bottom plate when focusing cams are installed, as the cam can be damaged. This one seems contradictory for a wide angle 90mm lens/cam rangefinder.
What other don'ts related to the Technika IV? I don't mind bumbling around making the usual mistakes, but I would hate to damage my camera.
Thanks!
