Re: Art Panorama 624 Instruction Manual

Simonwide:

 

Thanks for your offer to assist me. I have a few questions to start of with, all of which will demonstrate my inexperience with medium format.

 

1. how do I open the 624 to put film in?

 

2. Is the focusing knob set in feet or meters?

 

3.On top of the 624 is a bracket intended for some piece of equipment to slide-in. It is not for the viewfinder as the camera already has one so what could this bracket be intended for?

 

4. On the front of the camera (on one side) is a bracket with a hole and a screw. What is that for?

 

5. On the back of the camera there is a sliding plate. I assume that this plate is used to cover the round window (that shows the picture number on the film?) while shooting?

 

6. My 624 does not have a ground glass (for composition & focusing). Do you know where I could get one?

 

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

 

Best Regards - Steve Blumenthal
