Hence my initial post here: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...lass-plane-MPP
Doremus, a set of shims for the film holders was something I considered but there are a number of issue that persuaded me against it:
- the shims would have to be fixed to the holders, which would mean I couldn't use them with anything else
- the difficulty of getting the shims made flat (thickness is easy)
- the difficulty of fixing the shims to the holders - glue thickness and lumps could be an issue
So I have a design for a new focus holder which I am looking to get made in Delron. I'd rather make it myself (just for the fun) but I can't mill that large or that precisely on the depth; this needs a professional setup. I'll post some pictures when I get it organised (might be a while; it's a complicated time of year).
I'll probably be dragging the camera off to Berlin over xmas, so hopefully I'll have something sorted; if not then the focussing forward approach will have to do, guesswork and all.
