I can't seem to find a instruction manual for a Graflex Home Portrait camera. I found one for the others but not this one. Can someone tell me what the 2 dials in the picture do?

A link to the manual is in Post #7. you have to save each page separately as there is no download feature.

Thanks, I don't have the camera in front of me so I will check it tomorrow. I am starting to have second thoughts on this camera. It's big and difficult to use so I may try to find a 4x5 or 5x7 field camera reasonably priced and give large format another go.

before you give up on the camera yet
look at what people who use it have to say about it
or one sort of like it
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
its really not as crazy heavy cumbersome as you might think.
