Huge snip
Thanks for all the information Pete.There may be a couple of differences
between the two holders:
The Grafmatic has a counter wheel that places a number in the edge of the
image area (can be annoying but you can remove it). The Grafmatic operates
in a similar way to the Quickload, however when you pull the darkslide to
expose the film, you push the slide in again before making the exposure.
The darkslide slides under the film spetum and ensures that it is in the
correct film plane position. Does the Quickload operate in a way that you
keep the darkslide out for exposure?
There is a whole load of info. on the Graflex web site, including an
instruction manual if you want to see a Grafmatic and how it operates:
