The work left a few shavings sprinkled here and there so I popped off the chimney and did a thorough vacuuming. To my everlasting surprise I discovered that the groundglass rests in the camera with the textured side facing up. I cannot believe this is correct. Can anyone with a 4x5 B confirm the orientation of their groundglass please? Many thanks in advance! Semi |

Second is after flipping over. If the files are too small to show it, the second one is sharp while the first is very soft. They are Polaroid test shots, but obviously not the regular kind!
