I just bought a B&J Grover 8x10 camera, and I'm wondering how you use the Extens ion rail. The guy who sold it to me has never used it, so he couldn't say for s ure, but he thought you "put the two rails together and clamped them into the tr ipod bracket". That was one of the options I came up with, but I can't help but think it wouldn't be very sturdy, if it even held together. The extension does not have the "teeth" for the geared focusing, while the main part does. Other than that, they're vir tually identical. Any advise/experience on this matter? The camera also came (and this was a surprise) with a seemingly functional Packa rd shutter. Any advise on using this? Can/Should I leave it in place even whil e using modern, shuttered lenses? The tube that connects to the air hose has be en run through the bottom of the front standard, so removing the whole thing cou ld be tricky. Thanks in advance for the advice.
