I've just acquired a 6x9 120 back, but sans instructions.

When loading a film, where do you line up the marks / arrows on the film paper backing?
In my Mamiya there's a spot alongside the film carriage to indicate this, but I can't see anything in the Wista back.

If anyone can point me in the direction of some online instructions, or has the instructions and can scan / photo the relevant page that would be great.

Thanks,

Chris.

There should be an oval window in the pressure plate with a little triangular bit sticking out. Take the leader out of the supply spool (black side facing out), round the back over the pressure plate and into the take-up spool, then wind it until the loading "start" arrow lines up with this pointer through the pressure plate window, then close the back and wind till it stops at the first frame.

Thanks for that Dave, it's so obvious now that I now what to look for.

Cheers,

Chris.

I must admit I too was expecting some kind of painted on start mark the first time I used one. Horseman backs are the same.
