Making a F2.4 disk for the Composer (to match LBO wide open). This will be a very thin ring when finished. What is the best tool to use to cut the magnetic material material? thanks barondla http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?9,92095,92095#msg-92095 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:22:06 -0700 Phorum 5.2.8 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?9,92095,97180#msg-97180 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?9,92095,97180#msg-97180 skindiver How Do You Do That?

Take a black piece of plastic that's springy, a good example is the plastic microwave type dinners come packaged in, measure the depth inside the lens cup, cut the plastic long enough so it rolls in a tube, this will hold those aps firmly in place .

If you desire some vignetting leave the length a bit longer, this is aRt not science, enjoy !]]> ranfoto How Do You Do That? Sun, 16 Nov 2008 12:36:51 -0800 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?9,92095,92170#msg-92170 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?9,92095,92170#msg-92170 thanks

Down and dirty way, which will work just as well : Very sharp kitchen shears, black sharpie pen, compass or template to mark out the correct size, razor blade knife .....I prefer the snap off blade style .....to start your cut, then finish up with the shears .

Use a strong light so you can see the sharpie markings .

There are many ways, industrial punches, exacto knives mounted in an industrial compass, craft stores have all kinds of cutters, but I've tried them all and still come back to using my shears for most apertures I want to create fast without the hassle of making a big project out of a simple job !]]> ranfoto How Do You Do That?
