Hi all,
I am new to this forum.
I just acquired a Graflex Crown Graphic and want to replace the GG with a new one, and perhaps a fresnel lens.
1. eBay seller photofinder sells what looks like a fine GG for this camera, and I think I will get that one. Does this make sense? Unfortunately they don’t also sell a fresnel lens.
2. Should I also install a fresnel lens (in front of the GG)? Will the combined thickness of the two cause any problems? From what I can tell, a GG is about 2mm thick, and the fresnel is another 1mm.
3. I see some eBay sellers selling a “2 in 1” combination GG and fresnel lens. They are acrylic. Here is an example: www.ebay.com/itm/265662629997. Are these any good? Worse than the two separately installed?
4. What is better, glass or acrylic?
5. From what I can gather, most 4x5 cameras have a GG that is 127mm wide, while this Graflex is 123mm? I want to make sure I buy the right thing.
Thanks so much! I appreciate any help I can get!
Adam
