Hello all,

I've just acquired a RB series B Graflex with a 6-inch f4.5 Cooke lens. The camera and lens is in great condition after some running repairs (thanks Bert).

Can I have some advice on how to use the 'T' setting on the shutter? Do you simply set the curtain to 'T', press the shutter to open the curtain, and then lower the mirror to finish exposure???

Also, how and when do you use the mirror setting lever with 'I' and 'T' on it?

Tony,
The "Time" exposure setting is a bit diff. than normal...You must use a tripod of coarse, and a timer of some sort......On the mirror cocking lever you will see a slide switch..pull it forward to >dissengage< the "L" shaped shutter trip lever...set tension at 3 or 4...set aperture to "T" (time)....cock the mirror
....compose your picture on the ground glass....release mirror with shutter control...release curtain with the "L" shaped curtain release lever (now the "O" is showing in the window)...Insert film holder...set timer and pull dark slide....
...After timer goes off...release curtain release lever again (to close the curtain)
>Replace dark slide<
Now it's success or failure time....dev the film, and watch the magic!
Have Fun with it.........Bert
