Ground glass back

Photography Ground glassGround glass screen

The common tailboard variant distinguishes itself from other tailboard cameras most notably by the hinged baseboard upon which the ground glass back can be moved and fixed, and which is equally wide as the camera's front and back.

 


The view camera has a ground glass back onto which the lens projects the scene and allows the photographer to compose the image. Because of the size, weight, and inherent slowness, the view camera lends itself to careful, measured image making.
