Hi Lyndon,
I just got my Speed Graphic Body and checked. It is exactly as you
say. The largest opening only works as T and mine doesn't care if I
hold the release down or not. Bummer. Could probably get an acceptable
shot with a synch on T if it were dark enough, stopped down enough, film
slow enough, etc. I've done that manually with an old TLR that had no
synch. The shots actually came out fine.
