Hi-

How hard is it to replace the little red glass (transparent material) that covers the exposure number hole on the Bag Mag?

Is the proper material available? Where?

Thanks,

Dave

Depending on the size of the window, might a deep red (#25 or #29) or green (#58 or #62) glass filter in a small size, like the ones formerly made for 8mm. movie cameras, be more durable than a piece of gelatin filter or redplate? Some of them were tiny, as small or smaller than the green window in my father's 828 "Bantam" folder.
