>Sandy,
Thanks for your wonderful help. I was not even aware that the arm moved
all the way down to the negative! Since I am new to this machine, I didn't
want to force anything. I was under the false impresion that it somehow
measured from it's high position.
This rates is the number one strangest piece of photo equipment I've ever
owned.
What kind of step wedge would you suggest?
I notice there's a button on the front of the arm, and when pressed releases
the top part that contains some kind of mirror which is connected to a long cord.
What is the use of this?
I got this machine for about $70 with shiping from Canada. I mainly
want it to calibrate Panatomic-X film for the zone system (thin based film made for the
military. I've got a 5" by 1000 feet roll of it. I'm cutting it down
to fit my 34 Graflex reflex camera. The thin base wouldn't work in tanks,
but I prefer tray development. Anyway, I didn't want to spend a small
fortune on a digital Macbeth.
Thanks again and best regards,
Rich Lahrson
