Thanks Phil. I'm busy right now constructing a turret for the front of my camera. Its going to be a little big, perhaps 6" diameter, because I always mount my pinholes and zoneplates into Series V filter rings so I can take them out easily if I need them somewhere else.
I'm considering building a form out of wood to construct bellows on. All the instructions I've seen so far for bellows construction seem really tedious, which doesn't match my personality. ;-) I have a router table I've just built and need to work out the details on the form. I'll check your site. Thaks for all the help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip J.
