I recently bought a Century Graphic with the 101mm
Ektar lens. I have not neen able to get sharp
negatives with it and I believe that the problem is
that the film is not quite flat against the pressure
plate.It seems to bulge through the 6x7 window. The
camera, roll film back, and lens are in excellent
condition. Could this bulging of 1 to 2mm be the cause
of the out of focus negatives? I've set the focus at
infinity and nothing in the depth of field is sharp.
Could newer film be thiner and more flexible than roll
film in 1950?
