[LRFlex] Re: Vacuum Easel

Good Mornin' John!

I don't know about the ByChrome, but when I had a vacuum back for an old 
process camera, I left the pump runnng all the time. (My pump was not so 
powerfull, and so I had to put strips of paper to cover the extra holes as 
well... but then, I was holding the film vertically.)

If, with extra paper, the paper will hold flat and the vacuum will hold long 
enough to allow the full exposure, it would be easier on the ears that way - 
that's for sure!

Why not experiment and let us know?  I, for one, would be curious to know!

Cheers!

David.
