I got my new camera today (a Speed Graphic), and I'm having trouble focusing the darn thing. I set the camera up on a tripod, figured out how to open the front (took half an hour on graflex.org to figure that one out), figured out how to open the shutter for viewing (another half an hour on graflex.org), and the image is upside down! I thought perhaps this model had a rotating back, but after an exhaustive search (yet another hour wasted) I find that this isn't the case. I called a friend who explained that I could just look at my pictures upside down when they come back from the lab, but I don't want to resort to that; I'll always know they're upside down, even if others won't. I'm at wit's end. This is the last time I buy anything off of ebay!
