I'll be having my Graflex 4x5 Speed Graphic Special CLAed on Monday. Problem is: don't know how to use this camera. This camera was from my late Dad.
Could anyone share where to download the owner's manual for this camera? Thanks in advance.

Graflex.org is a great source of info on the SG
The camera requires a good developed routine to operate. I've used a Crown and a Speed Graphic so far (not with sheetfilm but roll film and Polaroid attachments) and I've shot a fair number of blanks due to forgetting some settings like opening either the front or rear shutters or removing the darkslide...d'oh.
I've gotten better, but it still happens, especially if I try to rush things...so the rule is take it slow every time.
Good luck,.
