Ha ha - an alternative reality maybe ;-) If you're going to cut a lens shade up, before you do I would suggest making some test hoods out of cardboard first, using the existing hood as a template. That way you can optimise the shading for your needs. If the hood you are going to cut is not expensive then I would try and buy more of them as further test mules. Some hoods are made of extremely hard plastic, others (like some Canon hoods) are much softer and more flexible. For a precision job a laser cutting device would give pretty clean results. For best cheapest, sure a Dremel. Or you could use some fine modelling saws. Either way you're going to end up with some rough edges that will need sanding. Suggest nail files for this, rather than actual sand paper. Good luck! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
