Send me your address, and a format, I will be happy to send you a screen to evaluate, the only thing I ask, is evaluate it fairly.

It was not a critizim at all, that is not what I meant, and I am glad you found a screen that you like, actually I have several thousands square inches of various plastics around my shop that can, and do work very good for screens, they are very expensive, quite a bit more than the average user will pay, which is why I went to work developing the process I did, but again, not saying anything bad at all about plastics, its good stuff, just a bit expensive and most plastics will shift color(albeit slight in certain materials) in a couple of years, we are always doing R&D to see if there is something better, but again, not saying anything bad..

You offered to send me a screen to evaluate. I contacted you by private email shortly thereafter but have not received any recognition of my message. Did you receive my message?

Satinsnow said:Yes Sandy,
I received the message and I will ship one to you soon..Thanks I look forward to your review of our screens.

For many many years, I used a "fresnel one side, diffusion on the plain side" focusing screen on the Polaroid 20x24. When I came to CA and started working on the camera I have now, (Polaroid/Wisner/Storer 20x24) I could not find the appropriate Fresnel. (infinity conjugate on the wrong side) What I have been doing for the last 8 years is using a large fresnel layered with a piece of P-95 Clear Plex.
This is also my setup for 14"x17". "Practically unbreakable" is a huge draw for me, especially in the large sizes.
The P-95 is frosted on one side, but the diffusion is light, very uneven illumination unless used with a fresnel. For 5x7 and 8x10 I use the P-95 with cheap "page reader" fresnels for composing, then drop the fresnel back in the bag for fine focusing. A drawback of the P-95 is the texture is a bit coarse, so smaller format users may not be able to find good detail to focus.
WHAT I WAS SAYING IS "YOU CAN USE P-95 WITH A FRESNEL, IT WORKS WELL WITH SOME CAVEATS" FURTHER, "I USED TO USE SOMETHING JUST LIKE WHAT SANDY MENTIONED, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE IT EITHER"Satinsnow said:And the purpose of your post was???
I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to say here Tracy..
Thanks
