At the point in time that camera was built, the fine art of design copying was pretty good, I have seen a great many cameras from that era that look pretty similar!

I just used a dab of yellow elmers wood glue on mine and they were still holding up just fine after I used it for 5 years and sold it..

God,
Ian, I have not posted over there for almost a year either, talk about a blast from the past!
Yikes..
Dave
Oh, come on, you have two different forums run by two different entities, what type of etiquette is involved!? both of these forums cross over once in a while, but they have completely different...
As Jim Said, I will post what I want, where I want, and there is nobody that is going to tell me different! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!
Of course as I am not a member at APUG and...
Randy,
Contact Hugo, with your requirements, and I am sure he will be able to get you set up with what you require..

Thanks Peter,
I have never shot "plates" just thousands of sheets of film over the last 20 years, as plates were not mentioned in his question, I presumed he was talking about shooting film.
...
Wolf,
In all of the cameras I have dealt with over many years, the frosted side was always mounted on the same side as the lens, this is where you focus your image, but again, just un-mount and...
Cleaning ground glass is very simple, warm water and a grease cutting detergent with a scotch bright pad, is what I use on every single new screen I ship out, just wet the glass with warm water,...

You didn't answer my question, do you have a piece of glass on order with me? If so, please tell me the time frame so I can look it up and refund your money, if you don't, then I don't...
Thanks RSchenk,
You have all the answers..
I am glad you chimed in..

Turner,
I am retired, but my claims are tied up in the current red tape, also, the full service facility is over 600 miles from where I live, I currently have claims in, but no money forth coming...
By the way,
I just went through my orders, both international as well as domestic on the 17th of August 2007, I received 56 orders that day, I have shipped 51 of them, could you please tell me...
Well I am sorry as well, because I have never received an email, or I would have answered it!
Why is it always the vendors fault? We are dealing with a dynamic network that spans the world...and...
Brian,
Thank you, yes indeed it has been a difficult year and a half, by this time, my home was suppose to be paid off, with all this happening, I will be paying on it at least another 10 years! ...
Folks,
I have answered every email I have received, I have explained numerous times on this website, what has happened in the last year and a half, which includes the murder of my sister, a broken...
My confirmed paypal and ebay address is a PO Box, I have never had any difficulty at all with them, as far as their fee's for a small business man, they make much more sense than me paying for a card...
Hi Will,
Drop into ebay, in the camera section, the guy that goes by the name photofinder sells screens to fit your camera, it is the same size as the crown graphic screen. He has them in stock...
Another one to look at is propay.com I have had an account with them for a few years now, and they also cater to small merchants, they charge a yearly fee, as well as a transaction fee., but I use...
Sheldon,
Nice shot, if I am not mistaken, that is the St. John's bridge is it not?
Dave
If you don't want to rely on "digital gizmos" then why are you trying to compare a digital back to film?, shoot film and have it high quality scanned, 6x9 film handled properly can result in some...
Well Ice,
After being a ground glass manufacture for a number of years now, I can say, I pretty much know what I am talking about. And there are a number of things that come into play when your...
:eek:
Yup, that to Bob, many grids are just screen printed and baked on, so they will also come off!
:(
Dave
ice-racer,
You will find quite a bit of difference in the various standard ground glasses, as vast majority of the older cameras have sand blasted glass in them, which is dim, as it diffuses light...
raghav,
Yes, depending on your set up, it can and does affect the clarity of the image, another thing that can effect the image, is how fine the glass is ground, you need a piece that is pretty...
Home depot sells a small key chain level that works great for cameras, about 3/8" square and about 1 1/4 long, can be seen from all sides, just sit on the camera and can be stuck back in you pocket,...
EuGene,
Put a dolop of the carbide on the glass and a little water, enough to make into a thick paste, and work in a circular motion, you will know if you have to add more water or carbide as it...
"What are the uses of Ground Glass"
Wow, now that is a big question, I have made ground screens for several dozens of different applications, from cameras to antique TV, digital video...
I would bend the clips gently and take a couple of test shots, to ensure your focus plane is correct, you will know if it is not, because the images will be soft, if that is the case, you should be...
Yup, notches on the right hand side if your holding the holder vertically, if your holding horizontally then it would be on the bottom.
Dave
Jim,
I am impressed, those are some pretty good looking pictures, thanks..
Dave
My only question would be? What the hell are you going to do with it?
LOL
:)
You should send a note to Bob Solomon, I believe the company he works with does this service.
Dave
Kirk,
As a person that owns several large online forums myself, I would, based on experience ban him permanently and I would also report to your local law enforcement, I know over the years, I...
If I remember correctly, the Bettie is actually plastic, if that is the case, NO, you can not cut it with a glass cutter, this is specialized work. Did you order it new? if so, you should be able to...
That seal that is degenerated is something an owner along the way added, I have owned several of these cameras, including new ones back in the day and none of them had a fabric or foam light seal in...
If you have the original installation instructions, why would you ever question those? if bettiie says install it this way, then this is the way your suppose to install it...
Dave
Shane,
No it is not, on average, it will be 2/3rds, because the fresnel is actually a magnifying glass that you put between your lens and your focal point. and you will have to computate the...
Glenn,
The pacemaker and crown backs will not fit the View Models, if you want a fresnel in front of the ground glass, you are going to have to do some work to the back to maintain focus plane,...
