Good day to all, after reading a few posts over the past month, I decided to make a single element soft focus lens. The lens I used was a 77mm (~3") magnifying lens I found at the 99 Cent store close to my house. I used an old filter ring to encase the element and glued it into a piece of black PVC. I already had a shutter (Shanel 5A with retaining ring) and used a black rubber cap with some hose clamps to hold everything in place. I just now took down my rig and everything works well and as it should.
As the title suggests though, I'd like to place some Waterhouse stops in the PVC barrel. I have been searching the threads for a long time as well as Google on simple ways to make these kind of stops but really haven't a step by step method. So with that said, if someone could and please, if you have done this process, share with me how you would do this and explain very simply from start to finish that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your time.
