Hi all,
I just discovered (naturally, at the start of a 4-day weekend that I had intended to use for photography!) that I have broken the ground glass for my CC400 4x5 camera. It broke into three main pieces with a couple chips out of one end where the pressure was applied while it was in storage.
I am about to order two replacements, so that I'll have a spare, but it may take a while for them to hit my mailbox.
In the meantime, if I use that "invisible" scotch tape to hold the pieces together, will it still work? Or will the focusing plane be totally off? Yes, I do plan to put the camera together and look through it, maybe even use a sheet of film to test it, but I thought I'd see what the experts had to say first.
Thanks to all!
