[LargeFormat] Shutterless Exposure Recommendations

[Benno Jones]

I plan on getting 1 or 2 barrel lenses to use with my B&J 8x10.  I have
never used a shutterless lens and was hoping to round up some ideas on how
those of you who use barrel lenses control your exposure.  I often take
fairly close shots, so my bellows will often be extended fairly far and to
pull the dark slide on the film holder with one hand while holding something
dark over the lens with the other sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
for klutzy me.

Thanks for the help as always.
