This is an 8x10" hand ground focusing screen with 1/2" clipped corners made of soda-lime glass.  This screen will fit any camera that requires an exactly 8x10" screen.  All edges are ground for safe handling.


100% made in USA.  


What sets this screen apart from most others is the fine grind.  I spent hours creating this screen first accurately cutting to size from stock, then hand grinding it to a perfect level of diffusion.   If a screen is ground too coarsely it will have more grain and less light transmission.  Ground too finely the diffusion suffers with loss of detail.  This screen is ground to the perfect level of diffusion with good detail in highlights and shadows -and importantly its super bright.

It's a labor of love to make these screens.  It takes a lot of time, energy and attention to detail.  For larger screens like this, I make only one at a time, and list only one at a time.   If you need a custom size please contact me, and I will set up an ebay sale.  I can make any size up to 24 x 24".  


My name is Steve Hopf and I've been making hand ground glass focusing screens since about 2006 when I started out at my kitchen table learning the secrets of grinding glass.  In the years since, I perfected the process of creating super fine grained, super bright screens, and I have made thousands of screens for satisfied photographers around the world.   I've been on hiatus for a few years due to covid and setting up an antique store in Kernville, California, but I am back!


I ship by Priority Mail for faster delivery.  This means less handling time in transit meaning less chances of mishandling plus their flat rate boxes are perfectly suited.
