Hi all,
My first post here.
I fell and broke the glass on the back of my Tachihara, luckily (what I believe to be) the fresnel lens is intact. I'm a bit new to this and not quite into the terminologi fresnel lens/ground glass/protective glass. I know that what is closest to the front of my camera is a matte glass (plastic?), and the rough side of this matte piece faces forward. I think this is the fresnel lens. Behind this piece was the glass that is now broken. This is the only two pieces of glass that was at the back of the camera. So does anybody know if the broken glass is just a protective cover glass that I can simply replace with clear glass wothout any concerns for focusing problems? I am not able to shoot a focus test right now, as I have sent the camera back to a local dealer who will take a look at it.
The broken glass was totally shattered, so I don't have it to see if it was clear or matte, as I have been told that this would determine if it was clear glass or a ground glass that is broken. However, I was able to focus on the remaining (fresnel lens?), but I can't shoot a test as the back is sent away.
Don't know if this was explained very well, but I appreciate any inputs.
Sigurd
