How long does it take to load another sheet of film in a Speed
> Graphic?  (How "speedy" is it?)

I still have my very first "professional" camera.  It was (and still is)
mint condition Busch Pressman 4X5.   In addition to the film holders, I have
a graflex holder. What this little gem does is allow you to load six sheets
hand it has a mechanical mechanism to advance a sheet into position each
time you cock it.  Very slick and I have used it several times.  My very
first newspaper photo I ever sold was made with it.  Of all things a
basketball action shot.  Punch flash with a P25 bulb on Plus-X pan prof.
