That's the way I went, with the rationalization that the typical RDA is such a good "bang-for-the-buck" option optically that pimping one out is just playing with house money.

    That said, I did buy an Ektanon from LA-based photographer Andrew Glover (an experience I heartily recommend, just for the jokes) that had a cap from a Pringles can protecting the rear element, so field expedient solutions are available.

    This one is way more involved, but I really like the end product

    Thanks abruzzi ~ Of course - because you can add a non-lens-scraping-yet-safely-friction-securing liner more easily than evenly scraping off the required amount. Better rounding up than down - a good tip!

    Oooh! This is fascinating and looks like a really cool project, particularly for those like me who’ve always wanted to try leatherwork. A wonderful idea ~ Thanks John!
