Fresnel for shen-hao?

[hagai_kaufman]

Hi everyone,

 

<p>

 

I just got a new shen-hao 4x5 camera. very nice machine, although the finish of the metal parts is so-so. Camera is solid and good, as been metioned several times here so I don't want to repeat it.

 

<p>

 

Does someone know if I can fit it with a fresnel screen, and where to get one ?

 

<p>

 

Thanks,

The Maxwell screen is marvelous. I got the tip from reading the

threads on this forum. You can reach Bill Maxwell at 404 244-0095.

He'll be able to help you figure out if it will fit. Good luck.

You can get a Beattie Intenscreen Plus for almost any camera.

I've been pretty pleased with the Shen Hao without a fresnel, but

I've thought of adding one too. I am considering buying a flexible

page magnifier from Edmund Scientific and cutting out the middle.

Not as nifty as some of the other options, but very cheap and may be

quite functional. I plan on testing it before shooting anything

important.

I also have a shen -hao camera and i bought a used frenel screen from

a local photo shop. It works very well. All you need to do is to put

on the outside of the Ground Glass next to where you look at on the

glass.

My pictures are very sharp.

As Dave Willis suggested, you can purchase a fresnel screen from

Edmund Scientific. (Buy one that is 1/16 th of an inch thick.)

Hope this helps.
