I'm increasingly disliking the fresnel lens when it comes to focusing and I want to do without it for a while. I have a 4x5 HorsemanLE, the camera back contains the fresnel between the lens and the GG. The fresnel and the GG are sandwiched together with the long dimensions of the pair fitted into metal clips, more like guides than actual clips. Beneath this is a "shim" (I suppose) that the whole arrangement appears to rest on. I am either having difficulty in simply focusing with the fresnel or there is a focus error with the alignment of the inner surface of the fresnel and the film when the holder is inserted. I want to remove the fresnel lens from the metal guides and use just the GG to see if things get better. I can see how it can be done, but am concerned that I may mess up the alignment, if indeed there is no issue with it already. Any guidance is appreciated, will check back when i get home from work today, thanks.
