 Filter holder |

I have an old lens without any filter thread.
This bugs me a bit since I cant even attach a lens hood.
So I made one with a protective skylight.
I took the largest filter I could find and a piece of polyethylene foam.
Cut the foam into manageable pieces. Then cut a hole in a couple of pieces that the lens will fit in.
And cut a hole in one piece to hold the filter.
Glue the pieces together. I used Photofix permanent spray glue, because I found that bottle first. It seems to work just fine.
Cut the outer profile to your liking. Mind size of bag and angle of camera when resting on a flat surface. Its nice with padding but you don't want it to be in the way.
I took an odd sock and cut the toes of. Put the sock over the lens and start dressing the foam.
I pulled the sock through and over the foam about 4 times before I whipped out some needle and tread to fixate the sock to the foam.
On with the filter, I used superglue for that.
Be aware that fumes from the glue may stain both the lens and the filter

People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things.
But that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows. |
