SHOOTING
Shooting with the Rollback is easy. Just remember to advance to the next frame after you have
exposed your current image. We recommend doing this immediately, to protect your exposed
image in case of any accidental second exposure, lens removal, back removal, etc. Remember
that because the Rollback 23 doesn't have a darkslide system, you must not remove your lens,
open your shutter, or remove your back until you have exposed your entire roll of film and
unloaded it.
To advance to the next frame, simply remove the Window Cap and
turn the Advance Knob slowly (do not apply extreme, sudden
pressure, or you may break your winder), while watching the
backing paper through the red window. When the next frame
number appears, stop advancing. Your next frame is queued up.
UNLOADING
Once you have exposed your final frame (#8 in the 6x9 back, #10 in the 6x6 back), turn the
Advance Knob until the backing paper disappears completely from the red window, then a little
further, until you feel no more resistance.
You may now unscrew the thumbscrew and pop off the Rollback Cap. Turn the back upside down
to empty your takeup spool from the back. Pull the backing paper tight around the spool and seal
it closed. Put somewhere dark and safe for developing.
To remove the Foam Plate, in order to prepare to load another roll of film, you may need to insert
an object, from the front, into the hole at the top of the plate, in order to pry it up and out of the
shell. We recommend a key or thin screwdriver.
