Tachi 8x10
Heh; at that price, I'd rather have a crummy wood panel, buy a new lens instead 
Speaking of the Tachi. The "fresnel" is acting bizarelly. I see two overlapping images on it, and it's kind of tough to focus with it. It's not a question of getting used to it (I have a Crown Graphic, that also have a fresnel) but I suspect the "ground" part is no longer "groundy" enough and let light from the lens pass thru, without diffusing it on the plane.
The double image is very distracting, so I resolved to remove the whole assembly and install a (heavier) piece of frosted glass instead, for now...
Does anyone have the problem with the fresnel assemby ?
