Well, we're not going to see HIE in 120, but if we did it would depend upon the
camera.  I use a 6X9 reducing back with my Crown Graphic.  After loading the
back, I know that following two turns of the dial that the arrow will be close
to the proper position to begin loading.  I would probably use this knowledge to
load without looking.
