My first speed graphic did not have the little clips on the focusing hood to hold the darkslide. I got a graflok back from an old oscilloscope and it had the darkslide clips, which I now find absolutely indispensable. Why did they make any focusing hoods without them? Has anyone had luck retrofiting some kind of similar clips to hoods that don't have them?

The clips, if they are still there, were on the back of the flip up door in the Graflok back.

Because they had to invent the clips someday !

The focusing hoods did not need them.
