I bought my Graphic View I used back in 1997. There was an excellent ground glass in the camera back, but somehow I cracked it. I got a replacement piece, but it didn't fit that well since it was much thicker than the original piece. I was unable to shut the metal flap with the new piece. I've broken this new piece of glass (no surprise really since I couldn't protect it).

I want to get a new piece of ground glass, but I would like it to be the proper thickness. Does anyone know of ground glass that will fit properly in the back of the Graphic View I. I have the original back of the camera, not the graphloc type. I would prefer to have some kind of grid on the glass, but that is not necessary.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Jennie

All the older cameras I own and have removed to clean the ground glass in seem to have standard 1/8 thick glass. Midwest Camera Exchange should be able to supply or direct you to a perfect fit.
