Ground Glass Focusing - Linhof TK23

[Greg Liscio]

Any experiences (good/bad) focusing with the ground glass back on the TK23? If I get this camera, I plan to add the Fresnel screen.

my experiences are ok. I use a boss screen with a fresnel on a tk23 Non S. My tk23s backup camera has a normal screen and is to coarse to see adequate detail.
Most of the time I use a right angle reflex finder. Except for wide-angle, when the corners become to dark. (<58mm) otherwise is seems essential.

Best handling would be with the Fresnel and if you use a Linhof viewing aid; Focus/Meter bellows or the Reflex finder the Fresnel is mandatory.
