I made a DIY hood for my Pentac out of a round plastic container and some black flocking paper. Works great. The filter thread seems to be nonstandard , like 76mm or so.

My first try with Galaxy paper. I metered it as ISO125, allowed for a third of a stop of bellows compensation—my 450mm lens was extended to 600mm to focus this close—and it came out just right. My only problem is that when looked at 100% magnification there are all sorts of black speckles on the image. I don't think these are from my water supply.

Edit: Forgot to add, I did pre-flash in my usual way (1/3 of final exposure through a sheet of white paper) and I did load the film holders and develop under a red Paterson safelight with no obvious fogging.

Simple but effective!

Nicely done Tim
