    Need replacement glass for contact printing frame

    Good Day,

    After a few years of absence and a growing backlog of 8x10 negatives, I'm getting back into printing.

    My contact printing glass has a scratch and I want to replace it. I have frames from Dan Pelland, but it seems the shop is closed.
    Any suggestions for alternatives? I'd prefer anti-Newton glass.

    Many thanks in advance.

    How about a local glass shop? I’ve had glass custom cut and fitted.

    Great idea, but they may not have anti-Newton glass. I've updated my original post to reflect my quest for anti-Newton...

    You are welcome John. BTW Kevin at KHB -talked me out of- buying ANR glass to refurbish my Omega E 5x7 glass carrier. They did -NOT- have ANR glass when this was produced during that era. Better to use masking tape to stretch the neg tight in the carrier. Glenn Evans rebuilt the carrier for me with regular glass, and did an impeccable job of fabricating some vital missing pieces
