I recently bought a 9" Petzval from Eddie here on the forum and I'm very excited to put it to use. Unfortunately I'm little ignorant as to what is the best method of making a 'hat' for it. I know there are lots of techniques, but has anyone found one better than another (a diagram or link would be terrific ) I've done a bit of a search on the forum and can't find anything specific.
I'd love to do some quickish exposures with my home-made hat so I'm prepared that some practice (and spare film) is needed.
Steve in Adelaide explained the basics over the phone but I'm a bit of a visual learner and no-one in my home town shoots LF anymore...particularly with historic lenses.
Cheers
