    No flange? How to attach brass lenses to lens boards - A simple solution

    While looking for something in the depths of my backup hard drive I came across an old PDF from 2010 on how to attach a brass lens to a lens board. I've added it as a blog post which you can find here

    Best wishes

    John

    I am only improving on your ideas. I used scraps of a pvc sheet. Easy to sand to the shape.

    Hey John!

    Came across this thread that some peers recommended. Any chance you still have that 2010 PDF?

    Pura vida,

    Tomás.
