Source for custom-made ground glass?

[robk331]

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

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

Hopf made a beautiful 5x7 for my Dorf

What size GG do you need? Place a Want to Buy in the appropriate sub-forum and I think you will be happy.

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.

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

Much easier and cheaper to make your own. Two days ago I broke the GG on a brand new 8x10, two hours later I had another one fitted. I used glass I had cut for collodions.

+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
