With a razor knife, cut up some sections of a pop-sickle stick for shims, then always shoot at f/16 or smaller
Heck, I think I cut some small strips of mat board many years ago and used that for years as shims.
I think I just held the edge of the Fresnel against the edge of the mat board scraps that I had and it looked right.
it was designed for a fresnel under the gg with the grooves facing back so they don't get scratched by film holders or when the back is removed. i'm tired of repeating myself. i don't care how you THINK graflex SHOULD have built the camera, that's not how they built it. fresnel goes in with grooves against gg. end of discussion.
maltfalc is correct - my Crown Graphic had the fresnel lens installed facing rear towards the ground glass. The engineering nomenclature I discovered on graflex.org seems to confirm these were in fact intended to be installed this way. Contrary to what one might be familiar with on, perhaps, a Linhoff.
