Very impressive work.
Certainly do make your own ground glass. If you can do all that, you'll find grinding a groundglass very easy (just takes some 600 grit silicon carbide and about an hour).

I prefer aluminum oxide, as it leads to less chips, although it'll grind slower than silicon carbide.

Very well made camera. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing work!
I have now made such a ground glass and I am quite satisfied. The most difficult thing was to find the grit silicon carbide around here. I didn't find any 600s, only 400s. The new ground glass is not much brighter than the solution with the foil, but now I can see what I am focusing on. What is nice. With the foil it was a blurry matter.Originally Posted by reddesert
Very well done and congratulations!
Such a beautiful camera deserved this GG, of course
Looks fantastic! Congratulations!
Awesome camera!
So beautiful and well executed! So refreshingly classic - with a couple of nice personal touches (like the ground glass frame lifting plate) which do not detract from this in the least. But as a guitar maker...was it tempting to add a flourish - like a mother of pearl inlay? (glad you did not...but I just had to ask!)
