So, if 16 is the height, 12 the depth, and 8 the width, did you have the hole cut in the middle of the 8 inch side including the flap in determining the middle?

For clarification, I'm going to suggest or presume the 8x12 is the base and 16 the height and thus the focal length?

Here are the dimensions of the box. 16 x 8 x 12 inches. 40 x 20 x 30 cm (but I don't trust Hugh's conversion there!) Either way, this just happened to arrive today, it may not be the optimum size, but it works for me and to show this, here is another offering. This time it is from a leaflet, that I folded open so that just one page was showing. I think it is about an a4 or letter size for those across the pond. It is from an information flyer re travelling with a Guide or Assistance Dog. Happy snapping. Sandy.
