I have recently upgraded from Ebony SW45 to 45SU. For 6x12 composition, I previously used a home-brewed clip-on mask. That solution is no good for the 45SU because it obscures the asymmetric tilt lines.
It looks like I need to mark some crop lines on the groundglass.
[1] How is this normally done? Using pencil on the ground side?
[2] Any tips for achieving accurate registration of the crop lines (apart from burning a lot of film)? To fit the 6x12 RFH, I need to remove the groundglass, so lining the two up to 'trace' the rectangular film opening onto the groundglass isn't a solution as far as I can see.
[3] Are there any other considerations? Longevity? Alternatives to pencil?
Thanks. (Apologies if this topic has been covered before. I couldn’t find it.)
