Looks like fun. Do you supply complimentary kits to your students?

Subject: Lens Carry Plate, pictorial instructions
My fotodiox back caps arrived today. I just made a lens carry plate
using them, as the other caps I had been using didn't hold my lenses
quite as securely as I'd like. It actually pretty much worked, and would
be fine in a drawer or something.
One thing I realized was that I want the bayonet tabs all oriented the
same. I marked them with a silver sharpie, in this orientation the lens
will go on with the red dot facing "the bottom of the screen".
I apologize to my non-USAian friends for all of the measurements being
in inches, but those were the measuring devices that I had handy. The
base plate is cut for a Fastpak 350 (even though they have been
discontinued there are still some left at good prices btw). The spacing
of the caps is not even because my DA*55 has a rather large lens hood.
For that matter, so does my DFA 50 macro.
And, yes, I know, the measurements are very rough, and don't necessarily
all add up. Making the proper adjustments in the design is left as an
exercise for the student.
