nice going JB! wow. thank you very much. did not consider mounting it forward!

Thank you-

I think I mentioned mounting it to the front in my first post in this thread.

This should be considered as a prototype-
though I doubt if I'll ever get around to making the improved MKII version...

You did, but I did not grasp what you were saying until I saw the photos. I am going to try and rig something similar.

Steve,

An 8x10 carboard with a 4x5 cut out works just as well, and requires fewer batteries.

Let's hope you haven't been teaching camera design...

Isn't a piece of card an unnecessary extravagance when you can easily make a frame using only your hands?
Wasn't there somebody around before you, who taught hundreds of students to do just that?
