A Rolleiflex will break when it hits something. A Leica of course will. But a Speed Graph if it breaks you whip out a screwdriver and fix it... In the trench. On the run..... The standard operating procedure for the Speed Graphic (assuming you're in a crown of photogs) is 1. smash to the left 2. smash to the right 3. click the picture. But its a 123 thing I think. this establishes your turf and clears your shot. On 1/28/15 1:54 PM, "Charlie Chan" <topoxforddoc at btinternet.com> wrote: > Velocity does matter, but so does mass.
