    There is nothing wrong with making your preferred lens a special one with the desired treatment, especially if you don't care about the cost of it.
    Perhaps SK Grimm could do the disassembly and...

    Re: "Trimming" a Bill Maxwell screen to size

    The Fresnel part has grooves that are easily damaged by rougher handling. Best to send it to Maxwell indeed, because you don't know the details enough.

    Re: "Trimming" a Bill Maxwell screen to size

    Provided they know how fragile plastic Fresnel lenses are - I would not bet on it. It's not the cutting that is problem, rather the handling of the grooves.
