I have a question about the use of a Bosscreen made for a Linhof with a RH Philips 4x5.
When I install the screen the inner glass (closer to lens) sits up on the frame in the 5 inch dimension of the camera and I am not sure this is correct. At the narrower, 4 inch dimension the inner glass does not sit on the frame And the 'tape' which is attached to outer sheet of glass (closer to viewer) barely rests on the frame. I say barely because it is lifted away by the thickness of the inner glass.
I'm attaching a photo of the corner of the bosscreen as installed in my camera which will hopefully make this clearer. The view is from the user's side of the bosscreen. In the photo you can see the cut corner inner glass sitting up on the camera frame and not sitting on the frame where there is tape. Since the tape is not right up on the frame I have a suspicion this is not correct.
