I have just managed to get one of these on eBay, in good condition and not too expensive. I want to thank Roger Hicks for (a) whetting my appetite in the first place and (b) having published clear guidance on its operation and pitfalls to avoid - in Medium and large format photography, naturally. This is going to be a useful accessory.

I suspect the hands shown in the "how-to" pictures on page 77 are not those of Mr Hicks.

I have one and recommend that you practice loading, and operating it with some old film otherwise it will be easy to get the bits mixed up. Changing film with one in the camera is very quick, after all that’s why they were designed, so the press chaps could rattle through six sheets almost as quickly as they could change flash bulbs.

Yup - very useful.
