Title: ARca swiss 69 Groundglass placement
Post by: rueyloon on January 21, 2015, 06:10:06 am

Hello guys, need help on this one.

Took out my long hibernating Acraswiss 69 for a shoot and I can't seem to get the GG and the film back to align.

I have a fresnel on the GG, which side should the fresnel and GG face ?

hi,
usually the GG and frensel in the arca 69 back are mouting so that the GG is outside and the frensel inside.
Make sure that you have the older non N version of the 69 GG adapter. For this new N GG adapter you would need also the new N adapter for the film cassettes.

As Roman said, the GG and the adapter plate need to match on a 6x9 camera.  Both need to have an 'N' stamped on them or both need to be without this stamp.
Hope this clarifies,
Rod
