This 3-d printed “ground glass” can be the next step to your photographic life with your Graflex backed camera. 

The custom "ground glass" I am selling is actually plastic, but it works the same. I could not sell it with glass at this price point, and I think it is a bit more worry free. If you want to buy it and convert it to glass instead of plastic, you can just unbolt it and put in the glass. Just make sure you put the frosted side towards the camera( that way you will have a perfect film plane.  A ground glass plate was used in the earlier days of cameras and is still widely used by professional film cameras to this day to see exactly what image is coming through your lens. Ground glass can be used to give you very specific information about sharpness of focus, framing of the subject matter, and even dialing in accessory lenses for effect. If you are a lomography or experimental photography nut, this should work well for you! Throw it in your camera bag- it is light and compact. It helps to have some sort of hood if the glare from the room or space is too much. An easy hood is a black tshirt with the camera poking through the neck hole and the body of the t-shirt acting as the hood. 

Since this is a full view, you can use it to compose images for any back and any lens.

This is a custom ground glass, so no returns- make sure you want it before you buy it.
