    Am looking to purchase a new 8 x 10 Ground Glass rear assembly new? Possible?

    Hello,
    I am playing around with building a bit of a DIY 8 x 10 box camera and am wondering if I could possibly purchase the rear film holder/ground glass assembly new from one of the manufacturers out there? I do not need movements in this section.

    I am not technical at all, so building/measuring this is out of the question for me. I do have a very beat up Cambo SC 8 x 10 and that section does come off and could be used but it is quite heavy and ugly and if I do go for a final wood version, would be nice to have them somewhat matched..

    Any ideas? I did contact Intrepid in the UK but never heard back from them.

    Thanks so much!

    I see them on eBay often

    The GG back has 2 purposes

    One is scene view

    The other is precise position of film when used with standard film holder

    Cambo would be one of the best and easiest to build from

    Thanks, I have one of those so maybe do a rough version with it and then contact the other manufacturers later on to see if they will sell me one later down the track..

    Maybe you could buy a back from Intrepid Camera ?
