I'm updating my website and I need new contact or links for
anyone who is making ground glass for large format or medium format cameras.

Anyone still out there??

Been sad finding so many of my links, no good or have gone all to digital cameras.

Also, you can find new Wista and Tachihara screens.

Carol,

Steve Hopf does a great job. And does business like you do. Totally up front, helpful, friendly.

Nothing against the others. I have no experience whatsoever with them.

I got one from Steve. It was a great ground glass at a fair price. He has good service.

Its actually quite easy to make yourself. A jar of grinding grit and glass is all you need.
