Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this focusing cloth.
I am interested in it as I am thinking of using it to protect the camera while focusing...
Thanks!

Recently sold one - was too big for my set up. Very light weight - has pocket to use ground glass protector and Eboy clip to act as a lens hood. Never really used that feature even though I had to clip and protector. Rubberized material so it will shed water. Black on one side, white on the other - biggest plus would be the light weight, it was the lightest dark cloth I have used.

I never take a camera with me into the shower. I don't think anyone would want to see pictures of that anyway.

If you want to save $100+, buy a yard of Ultrabounce fabric. It's the same fabric.
Or GoreTex cloth and make your own with fleece on the other side so you can keep warm when it gets cold?

Sorry Dave. It was one of those late, thought it was funny at the time kind of things that I should have saved for the lounge. No offense meant.

@alan No worries, I am surely guilty of doing the same at times - just didn't want to let this post go down that road as some do... thanks! :)

It actually shipped from a Key grip's business who I used to work with.
