If only life was so simple, Tim.
If you have even light falling equally on both subject and background,
the fastest glass will not find contrast to lift your subject from the
background and give the image life. So you can either darken your
background or add light to your subject, and the latter is usually
easier. Often all you need is a single off-axis strobe which not only
brightens your subject a stop or two, but also can add some defining
shadow to the subject.
Everybody should have a remote-able flash in their kit to play with.
It's a very (ahem) enlightening experience.

Maybe appropriately sized PVC piping and end caps? Or, if you don't need so
much sturdy, cardboard tubes.
