Focusing aids for Chamonix 4x5 cameras

[Kornscharfsteller]

And here is the post where I ask about the cameras Chamonix C45F-2 vs. C45H-2

It clearly looks like the spring is on the inside in the above picture. Did they assemble it wrong or maybe they changed it and you use a different version?

In that picture, the unit is on it's side, so the "bottom" flap, which is on the right, folds in first. Then the sides, then the top flap which has the spring. It is exactly identical to the unit I have on my camera. The spring acts against the carbon fiber cover, which is on the outside of the frame from the camera.

To start out, just use the loupe and darkcloth. You can consider these later when you have some experience with the camera.

loupe and cloth but mainly a good loupe...I use a Rodenstock 4x I really like. don't use more than a 6x because it is to much ... sometimes I use reading magnifiers glasses from Walmart .... works well with a Graflex with a hood
