The ground glass is within the slide that you pull out so that you can view the film slide numbers. Simply pull this slide all the way out and the ground glass is resting on it. The focusing knob is usable if you simply do a little testing with the ground glass to determine the actual focusing. For instance, I know that full extended i can focus up to 1 foot away. With two full rotations of the focusing knob, I can focus at two feet. 2m on the scale is actually infinity on my camera, rather than the bellows being totally closed. So, that's how i do it and it works very well. For exact focusing with close-up subjects it is best to use the ground glass. However, I have successfully focused close up (1 foot) without the ground glass successfully.
