Hi all,

I just realized that I have my Maxwell screen from my original Shen-Hao 4x5 sitting in my desk :rolleyes: .

Has anyone performed this swap with their Chamonix 4x5? Anything I should know or pay close attention to? I checked the threads, but while the subject was bandied about, little follow-up was posted.

I know that I could call Bill Maxwell, but last time I was on the phone with the guy for an hour and I have a deadline today ;) .

Appreciate the info,

JT

Jt,

If the Maxwell screen will work - just have the grooves facing you, and the cover glass on top of that. However, you may have to shim the gg hold downs so that they do not bow the screen/glass.

Great, thanks Mike -- I had figured that there was going to be some adjustment.

I think I will wimp out and wait until the weather precludes shooting before making the switch, focus is dead on at present, not sure that I want to fiddle with something that is working with fall colors approaching.
