Does anyone have any ideas on a fixed hood for a Caltar 65mm lens which I'm using on a Fotoman 612?

I'm not viewing the image on a ground glass, which is possible but only as a one-off each time before using a roll of 120.

Thanks for any suggestions

The best thing might be to make one. If you are shooting 6x12, greater than half of what the lens "sees" will be non image-forming light. If you can use a ground glass for the purpose of determining the projected image size, you might be able to get a traditional metal shade that screws in and then make a mask out of black card stock or an old dark slide and glue it on to the front of the shade. Be careful of vignetting.
