Hi again,

When I received my Pacemaker I was so excited that I asked you about flashes instead of taking in consideration something much more important ; focusing !

A few months ago I decided to get back to the fondamentals and to use a focusing clothes and a magnifier for my large format cameras instead of the reflex backs.

However, the magnifier I will receive will be too short for the Pacemaker and I really want to use this americain beauty with its hood (this is a nice snappy device protecting the ground glass and belonging to the image of this camera).

Working without the hood never did any good


Therefore I would ask to all the hood enthousiasts which device do they use to focus on the groundglass while they're using their graflex

- From times to time there are some long toyo magnifiers available on Ebay but are they long enough ?
- Which device did the photographers use to focus on the ground glass of their graflex in the 50's ?
- Would a 4x magnifier be enough for a Graflex 4x5 ?


Thanks for your answers.

Laurent
