Hi,

Does anyone here have any experience with eTone fresnel screens such as this one https://www.ebay.de/itm/eTone-Ultra-Super-Bright-Fresnel-Lens-Screen-101x123mm-For-Graflex-4x5-Camera/183917662616? They are cheap and not expected to be high end but the question is are they reasonably good?

Cheers.

I bought one two months ago and the quality is good. I am happy using it.

@Pedro_fiz Thanks for the reply! How can you compare it with other screens you may've used?

An answer to this question will only be valid if you know what lenses he uses and how it compares to the camera manufacturers fresnel.

I removed the focus supplements, added the fresnel and then the image on ground glass was better and brighter.
My camera was designed for having a fresnel and the previous owner was not using one but there was a supplement for compensating the focus.
I tested the focus and was OK and I am not having focus issues
