    Have this six disc versions in 300mm. If interested, possible to put the disc in a scanner to get their hole size and location for replication if interested. This would require some work to get done. Can measure the hole sizes to 0.001" if needed.

    Re: DIY Imagon Apertures

    That's a neat lens, Bernice. Personally, though, I'm not a fan of the sink strainer apertures, because out-of-focus highlights can take on their shape, which is very distracting in most pictures that have such highlights.

    Here's one with a Fuji SF strainer-style lens:

    For me, it works in this image, but normally it's not a good thing.

    Bernice, do you have any example pictures with the non-standard disks?

    Going to be a while before I'm able to burn film again due to moving, unpacking and setting Foto stuff up to do this.
    Longer term plan is to get a proper darkroom built allowing B&W prints to be made again.. It has been SO long since any of that
    could happen.

    Tried the "hybrid" film-scan to digits post process, this turned out to be the most un-rewarding method for "me" as the means to create a print.
    Got a Epson scanner en all some time ago, the results were SO un-gratifying, SO dis-liked mostly stopped doing this.

    No worries, Bernice. I feel that way often, especially about inkjet printing, as I look to the left to see a torn apart printer....and look to the right to see a printer filled with cleaning solution....

    Bernice,

    Very happy to hear you will build a new Darkroom.

    We need many here to make that commitment!

    Re: DIY Imagon Apertures

    Is there a functional difference between using aperture rings as shown here and just closing down the aperture diaphragm (if equipped) on the lens itself?

    My lens does not have a separate aperture diaphragm. If yours does, and if the diaphragm makes a circular opening, then I would expect similar results.
