Hello. Thank you for your recipe for making frosted glass for a 13 * 18 camera. I made a focusing screen for my camera using a 400 + 600 image, the result is excellent

@mhaustria 2 года назад

You are very welcome! That’s quite a huge camera! Enjoy shooting with it!

@sundarAKintelart 4 месяца назад

Nice. Something to consider here. If the glass is ground with finer grit beyond a point, it would be difficult to focus. I think the 600 grit used here is good enough. No finer than this.

@mhaustria 4 месяца назад

I agree! 400grit by itself makes it more contrasty.

THANK YOU! Just got a Kodak N0. 2 5x7 (a family heirloom) with missing ground glass, and it turns out I have everything I need to do this! the camera needs some love and a better lens but I'm going to get it in shooting condition and probably do some paper negative stuff and maybe some wet plate in the future. brobably need to make some more film backs as well.

@mhaustria 3 года назад

Hiltsy ArtNstuff very welcome - I just searched for it and it looks like you got yourself a beautiful camera. Enjoy! If you need to modify a plate holder for wetplate, have a look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rVxV7QTjqbw.html

@sundarAKintelart 2 года назад

Pretty good. A glass from a discarded flatbed scanner would be good for making a ground glass.

@mhaustria 2 года назад

Thanks, that’s a great idea, just not sure how thick it is and if it will fit. I dismounted mine for cleaning last year and it looked pretty thick

@sundarAKintelart 2 года назад

@@mhaustria... Umax Astra models have thinner glass. Not measured though.

So my ground glade shattered this morning due to a tripod fail. Very upsetting 😢 BUT thanks to your video, I bought some glass and I am making my own right now. Looks good. I am using sharpening hones and other stones since I have them and don’t have sic powder in the area.

@mhaustria 4 года назад

Nicholas Fanzo happy I could help. Just curious, what kind of sharpening stones do you use?

@nickfanzo 4 года назад

Markus Hofstätter well I shave with straight razors, so I have many, I just used a carborundum, it did ok, powders would be better.

@ssldr4526 4 года назад

A great easy to follow video so much so I’m going to try and make a screen for a 45. When you rub the grit in between the glass does the motion have to be in the same direction to get the smooth finish. Thanks

@mhaustria 4 года назад

S sldr thank you, I never thought about it, but I did

@ssldr4526 4 года назад

thank you I shall give it a go and check out the rest of your videos

S sldr welcome and thanks - if you need a lens cap, there is a video for that too :)
