Well, maybe someone here uses that screen in their 8x10 Wista, and can measure it?

Wista screen measures 252mm x 201mm; a little too narrow for the Toyo 810M.
It would sit just at the edges of the Toyo's frame, too close for my comfort, with 1mm (perhaps) to spare on the Toyo.
Hopefully, Rudy will have the GG/fresnel screens available again/soon.
For those who are interested, the eBay GG/fresnel is again available.
I received an email from Rudy this morning, and he now has them in stock.
I have used them before, on both 4x5 and 8x10, and I quite like them.

Thanks for the update. I might pick one up for my 8x10.

Hi Ari,
Are these made so you don't have to worry about shimming or anything to make sure that the focus point is proper?
Hi David,
The cameras I've used had a slot in which you could simply drop the GG (Toyo 4x5 & 8x10), no shimming required.
The Linhof has its own shims, and I simply replaced the Linhof screen with the Yanke screen; again, no additional shimming needed.
This is a one-piece GG/fresnel, and it has always worked and focused properly the times I've installed it.
I usually will specify the exact dimensions to Rudy at the time of purchase, and so far it's been good to deal with him.
Thanks Ari. I might talk to him about a Whole Plate sized combo.
Does a clear cover glass come with the 8x10 version? If not, in your experience, is one required? Thanks in advance.Originally Posted by Ari
Yes, it does, and it helps a lot, too.
Ari how does the eBay glass compare to the stock glass that came on your 810M? Is it enough of a difference to make it worth upgrading?
