: Good ideas Gerald,
: I'll try the 'depth of field' test tomorrow. The camera was
mounted on a solid tripod but without cable release.
: I just can't imagine that's the problem. Especially at 1/60 or
1/125 with a very delicate touch.
: Is it possible this lens could be losing quality at f16/22?
: Also, is it possible for the GG to be installed incorrectly on
the Century? I did remove it once and then replaced it dull/matte
side facing forward.
: It's very frustrating. I've already lost some good pictures.
Thanks for your response.

Dennis,
I've been down the same path with my Century Graphic and it all boils down to the roll film backs that are made by Graflex. They just dont hold the film flat. You can use backs made by Horseman and by Mamiya that work better.
