Good. It isn't always about doing something expensive.

I have a 4X5 Crown Graphic that came with a fresnel lens installed on the ground side of the GG ridges toward the lens and it's worked well for over 50 years I've owned it.The camera back was modified to leave the GG in it's proper position relative to the film plane.
If someone is looking for a fresnel lens larger than 8X10 you need to locate an old projection television set they have really large fresnel lenses and a large front surface mirror as well.Just a thought.

And if you don't have a table saw you can score the smooth side deeply and then snap the plastic, though it does take some force, then sand the edge to a nice finish.. The nice thing about the reading fresnel is that the lines are much farther apart which means that they don't obscure the image as much as a regular fresnels are inclined to do for me. I actually like them better. Plus, cheap.
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:
