    Best source for ground glass

    Where would I be able to find a ground glass for a 4x5 camera (bush pressman). The camera fell and the glass broke so i need to get a new one.

    I have been very impressed with my 4 Satin Snow GGs, and Dave is great. There is a wait, but it's worth it. If you need to use the camera quickly, get any old GG, but order from Satin Snow. It will be the best part of your camera, and you'll be less likely to drop it next time.

    Try making your own. It only takes a few minutes.

    We had a demonstration at one of our Imageworks meetings here in Phoenix. This is the source...

    If you need one in pinch, spray-on glass frosting (Ace Hardware/Home Depot/etc.) will give you a pretty good "ground glass" from regular window glass in as much time as it takes to spray and dry. Not quite as good as an actual ground glass, but surprisingly close, and you can have it today for cheap. A great substitute til the real thing arrives!

    I was talking to a large format photographer which own a photo store and he said "I have use wax paper for ground glass in a pinch"
    It's not the camera......
