    I received a 4x5 screen this week from Steve for my Cambo Wide. Excellent quality and very fast shipping/delivery. The screen was very well packed for the shipment.

    Just purchased from Steve Hopf a gridded 8 x 10 gg for a Kodak 2D. Prompt, well packed and good product.

    I also recommend Steve Hopf - I've ordered a multitude of glass for my cameras and only he gets my repeat business.
    Are we truly creative, or simply too lethargic to become pedestrian?

    You might want to order two - shipping is a significant fraction of the cost of shipping glass, and it never hurts to have a spare.

    Cheers, Steve

    Another bump for Steve Hopf, he's always a pleasure to deal with, and offers very speedy delivery. Send him your specs, and you'll have a new GG in less than a week.

    Thanks again for all the responses. I still have the original glass intact in case I break the new one, so ordering two was not necessary. That was a good suggestion, though.

    Got the new GG from Steve yesterday. It's very well done and makes the old Deardorff look like new again. Very quick service and I had him clip the corners and add the grid.
    Excellent and fast service! I highly recommend Mr. Hopf.

    Thanks guys for making me think about how to deal with a broken GG situation. I've just finished removing the GG from each of my three view cameras to record all critical dimensions with a micrometer and make a pdf scan of each one, showing the grid markings and clipped corners. Mr. Hopf will get the order if/when I break another one (was never sure how that happened - a crack across the middle without shattering).
