My CC400 (CC400 black + 90mm optar in recessed board + 545 = $382) rig arrived today, and I've already produced my first polaroids!

Small question: is the rise/fall lockdown on the front standard really supposed to be operated with a philips-head screwdriver? I can't seem to get it adjusted right--it either feels like it's tearing away at the nub or it's completely locked... is there some other tensioner I haven't found? Or is this what I get for paying $161 for a Calumet?

Pull the knob outward to unlock it, push inward to lock it. Note that I may have gotten that backwards...

At any rate, that's how it's locked and unlocked.

Nevermind, I figured it out this morning.
