Hello Gui, > have any of you ever substituted non-glare framing glass for anti-newton > glass in your enlargers?
I use one such in my 6x9 enlarger. Newton rings are completely gone (and had been a real pain with regular glass). I was going to make a post about it to this or some other list, mentioning that the glass is not the "textured" nor "frosted" kind which seems to be always mentioned when discussing the anti-Newton solutions. It is perfectly plain and I guess falls within your description of "non-glare framing glass" -- although it was sold as a dedicated enlarger accessory in my case. It said "multicoated class" and could be had with one or both sides multicoated (which I don't see much reason for) -- I think it's the same kind that's used for framing. Newton rings is a thin film effect which stems from reflection, so minimizing reflections should (and really does) help. Haven't tried the Tetenal spray.
