I just bought a Ciroflex TLR. i repaired the shutter which was covered with oil. then i removed the ground glass, cleaned the viewing lens etc. but i forgot the orientation of the ground glass. does it go Etched side down? or etched side up?


thanks

Ground (etched) side down, facing the mirror.

I just bought one in ebay..

I had a couple of question:

1 mine has the viewfinder glass, (the one in which you look before to tale pics..) really dark..grey..is this normal?

2 the lever that opens the upper part (the tilt open) is broken....do you think it can be repaired?


thanx a lot in advance..
