As long as it is some sort of standard size anyway - if you don't like eBay I think I have a spare one from my Tachihara I just bought, but it's got a few marks

scotch tape and perspex would be the cheaper option

You'd be lucky to find the original trip working at a boot sale (I've checked many over the years)...maybe they weren't made to last

Not made to last....???? Mine was made in 1975, I think 39 years for a mass produced consumer camera is fairly impressive.

Maybe all the trips I see were overworked by David Bailey types

hello bud what sort of price did you want for the glass ? i will take some measurements and send them over to you to see if the glass will fit

I remember Dad using a very similar (probably identical!) method to make a small screen for a 35mm camera. Can't remember why he did it but he did and it worked!
