Hi, just wanted to pick your collective brains!! I've been using an Art Pan 6x17 roll film back for a couple of weeks now and although the screen "brightness" isn't a real problem I have been "testing" this by installing a cheap fresnel ( a cut down A4 page magnifier). The image is easier to see (albeit not dramatically!) but I was looking for some advice re: where to actually place the fresnel. The viewer for the film back comes with a fixed (glued) screen, however, there is a ridge on the frame below the screen (nearest the lens) that allows the fresnel to slide in underneath the glass nicely! As I am not in any way moving the position of the original ground glass, would it make any difference to the focus if I placed the fresnel here, or should I try and attach it to the ground glass screen so that it lies nearer to my eye? i.e. the original screen would be sandwiched between the fresnel and the camera lens? Does this make sense? I always think up these "stupid" questions on a Sunday morning before I have had my required intake of caffeine!! Thanks in advance Paul
