    Cut a little black tape mask that matches your film's aspect ratio and stuff it in there. Doubles as a framing aid.

    Happy snapping.

    That's my approach. I took an inexpensive #90 gelatin filter, cut a 4x5 proportioned hole in a gray card (but still attached with clear tape) I can use it as a white or gray card, open it up as a viewing filter, or use it with a tape measure to choose my lens. Kills four birds with one stone.
