Hi All,
I managed to break the ground glass on my 14x14 camera. Can anyone recommend a supplier for a custom-made replacement?
Thanks
Rob

Here's one source.

I just built a 5 x 12 camera and I sourced my ground glass on ebay. I found a vendor who was making 5x7 and asked if they could do 5 x 12 - no problem.
I'm very pleased with the 8"x10" gg I recently got from Steve Hopf

Make your own, I just one for my 16x20 and it was remarkably easy and the screen is bright. Total cost was maybe 20$ for glass and grinding compound. And an hour or so of elbow grease.
I followed Ian's directions https://www.lomography.com/magazine/...n-focus-screen

+1 .......I've done a number of ground glasses myself
even a little one for an old Rolleicord that was missing a ground glass...

+1 for Ian's tutorial.
I won't buy another, too much fun making them. I watch a movie while grinding and soon it is done.
I buy grit here. Telescope DIY supplies. http://www.willbell.com/atmsupplies/atm_supplies.htm
Has anyone had contact with Steve Hopf of late? I’ve emailed the address on his temporary site but had no reply. I need a new screen for my 8x10 Gibellini as it has a horrible plastic stock screen...
Edit: heard back from him.
