Failing that, just make some circular apertures out of opaque stock. I generally prefer images made without the small peripheral holes, but obviously that's a matter of taste. Personally, I used a cnc machine at my library to make some apertures from dark slides from old and ruined film holders, but I'm sure lots of other things would work. Even non-completely-opaque ones could be fun.

The H/Stop Imagon Disks can be rare as hen's teeth in big sizes. Spenive too! Myself I close the "Imagon Petals", too much of a good thing! Seems a bit more contrasty with petals closed. Prefer it. There just do the math and in regular F/Stops PleaseF5.6 F8 F11 F16 These would get some use I can tell you. The lens cap for these has a leather circle that pops out, that's yer exterior diameter. Focal length divided by distance in millimeters. Pretty easy to configure. The Guy in Italy scanned actual units, and 3D printed them with different sized holes ready to go. So they just pop into the front of Imagons and they fit tightly

Yes, the filter holder works well for holding DIY apertures.

Here's my 42cm Imagon in a shutter with H5.8-7.7, H7.7-9.5, H9.5-11.5 "sink strainers".
The Zettor shutter requires a high force and long throw cable release.

I had an excess pile of Imagon parts not matching. I cobbled this together with JBWeld. Could be a 200mm cell group not really sure. But it is sure sweet on the Makiflexes. Extension tubes China Ebay, a good well made extendable system. This is perfect to use on the Makis. Basically making something useful out of scraps. This would be great on a Graflex or Speed Graphic

Or get some properly-sized lens caps and drill out your own to the effect you desire. I always found the f/5.8 disk with the holes open is still too sharp for Pictorial work.Originally Posted by Daniel Unkefer

Beautiful stuff.
I think so, too.
