No flange? How to attach brass lenses to lens boards - A simple solution

[MadJake]

While looking for something in the depths of my backup hard drive I came across an old PDF from 2010 on how to attach a brass lens to a lens board. I've added it as a blog post which you can find here (https://johnbrewerphotography.com/blog/brasslens)

Best wishes

I am only improving on your ideas. I used scraps of a pvc sheet. Easy to sand to the shape.

Thanks for sharing.
I’ll spare a lot of glue!

Hey John!

Came across this thread that some peers recommended. Any chance you still have that 2010 PDF?

Pura vida,

Tomás.
