So... I received my Horseman studio L series 8x10 rear standard with groundglass back and 8x10 bellows from the Fedex guy, and everything is awesome, except the groundglass was shattered in several pieces... but I really wasn't surprised. :( :)
So here's my chance to get a brand new groundglass (or two) and I've been shopping around and I need your advice.
The 8x10 carrier frame that attaches to the Horseman L-shaped standard and the groundglass holder frame are CAMBO style (in fact, the groundglass holder frame says "Cambo made in Holland" or something).
So that leads me to believe that the replacement GG is this Cambo glass: http://www.calumetphoto.com/eng/product/cambo_8x10_ruled_ground_glass/cb0418
Other options I've found:
Arca Swiss: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/101466-REG/Arca_Swiss_170018_8x10_Groundglass_Focusing_Screen.html
Wista groundglass fresnel sandwich: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/63415-REG/Wista_211242_8x10_Groundglass_Fresnel_Sandwich.html
Toyo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61088-REG/Toyo_View_180_817_8x10_Groundglass_Focusing_Screen.html
Bromwell #1: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/6671-REG/Bromwell_1734_1734_Viewing_Screen_for.html
Bromwell #2?: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/725250-REG/Bromwell_1728X_8_x_10_203_2.html
Any thoughts on the cheap Bromwell?
My 4x5 back has a fresnel. Do I need a fresnel for my 8x10?
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks!
