Just wondering: how many of us do NOT pull out the darkslide entirely, and how many do?

Out
Out, out, out!
I remove it entirely. Leaving it partially inserted would make one more thing to catch the wind or get knocked around while shooting. Plus with my luck I wouldn't pull it out far enough...
Out.
Ditto here.
With it hanging out it catches the wind like a sail.
And one needs to reverse it after the exposure anyway.
I typically hold it in my teeth so eliminate the need to put it down unless the day is very cold and condensation is an issue or the exposure is very long.

All natural images are analog. But the retina converts them to digital on their way to the brain.
I pull it out. I like my graflok back that has the clips on the GG guard to hold it. I try to shade the slot, because if I get light leaks it's usually from the felt film holder light trap.
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

Except for that one time I did an hour exposure by moon light and forgot to take the darkslide out. Spent a long time looking for that darkslide in the dark before finally checking in the film holder.
Out.
Should have made a poll for this one!
I know of one guy who doesn't. His reasoning is that of dust.
