Been struggling with focusing the 4x5 Graflex Reflex Model D and was searching for a good solution, so I contacted Jerry Gordon of Graflex Garage.

He pointed me to the new (at least to me) 3D printed magnifier Bounet Photo is offering. Looks promising, as the ground glass on this camera is super, super fine grained and the approximately 9.5 inch distance from the top of the hood to the ground glass is in a terrible range for my aging eyes!

Nice thing is he offers the 3D printing files for free if you want to print it yourself. You just have to add an appropriate magnifying diopter to complete the construction.

I have the Bounet 9x12 sheet film adapter for a Patterson 3 tank (also good for 3.25 x 4.24 sheet film), but had not visited the site in a while.
