Does anyone have a source for fine ground glass? The ones available
from my local glass shop is not fine enough for view camera use.
Also fresnel lens sources? The office supply variety can be very poor

Magic Tape on plexiglass with good success. Not only
does it work well and is cheap to make, it's also light and

glass instead of plexi.
A variation is to put Magic Tape on the smooth side of a piece of fresnel lens.

Is there a simple way to find the ballpark location of a nodal point

Hi
all:
Where I can
buy a viewfinder (cheap if possible) for my portable 5 x 7' Zone Plate
camera (under construction)?

I converted a reel to develop 10' of 70mm film and I see no reason
why it should not work with 5 film. And it would fit in a standard
SS tank.
The original reel is the plastic 72 exposure reel that a few years
ago Ilford sold with a roll of 35mm HP5. Cut the stem and insert a
length of PVC
