I bought a trashed crown graphic mostly for the graflok back. The glass is brok en out of it but the rest of what I need is there to make a back for some wooden cameras. Checking my working Crown, it appears the fresnel is supposed to be p ositioned with the smooth side forward, the grooves toward the back in the direc tion of the ground glass. The fresnel is in front of the ground glass. The fre snel seems to be 2/32's inch thick. It seems to me that if I bought a piece of clear Lexan to move the ground glass out 2/32's, the put the ground glass behind it I would have the ground glass in the proper position. Is this right? Or do es the lack of a fresnel in my intended fix throw everything off? For those of you who've ever thought about this, I might add that the Graflok parts are surpr isingly light once you get them off the camera. The frame is a very light alumi num casting. Thanks for your comments, I know there's a crowd that pounces on f resnel questions...
