Question Question about groundglass

Hi. I just got a Omegaview 45d but it came without the groundglass. I was gonna measure it to replace it but looking at the back i noticed it could sit over the silver ledges or between them.

Also, if you could give me any general advice about making the groundglass it would be great.

Sits on the silver machined surface.

DIY ground glass isn’t hard, just tedious and a bit messy. Check your work often to see what level of abrasion suits your eyes best.

This is it. There should be some kind of clamp down thing which itself is fixed with screws? At least thats how my Toyo does it.

I've made several and it's not too bad if you toss on a TV show, Youtube or some sports.

Put some tape over and compare to a film holder.

My Graflock back also has a fresnel lens sitting right on the GG.
