Interesting, I build one of those years ago for a theatrical application. 40 thousands aluminum sheet and a rotator of masonite if I recall correctly. About a foot and half in diameter. Worked for the show, long since lost. Regards, Fox sends

Bob, I would scavenge for a large iris aperture as you suggested, however, i am scaling everything up (very large, about a 2 foot opening.. it's a long story ; ), so it should be easier at a larger scale. I don't know of any application that someone might have needed a monster diaphram for (except maybe military), and it is necessary that it be hand-built. thanks! joel _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
