I'll be doing mostly pinhole and zone plate, I think up to 300mm, though I
do have a 200mm lense I might use.

I looked at the ducting at the hardware stores, and that is not to my
liking.  I just screwed up, bought some woven nylon at a store because I
couldn't see light through it at the store, brought it home, threw it over a
lamp, and it is not opaque.

Another store had "blackout" cloth, but it was white.

I might have to opt for the darkroom cloth.  I can get 5 yards for $70.
Wish I could find smaller than that to fool around with.

Dwight
