Awesome video. WE NEED MORE!

great! I guess I got it right. I got a 23 Pacemaker without a lens, so I made a lensboard out of cardboard and craft foam and jammed a little magnifying glass in it that covers the 2x3 area and then some. I found Infinity, and did the calculation thing and got f3.5. I was thinking of doing the Waterhouse stop thing in front of the lens like a cross between a Cokin filter holder and a Lensbaby. Think it'll work?

That was sweet. After performing the drill with pencil and ruler for 30+ years, I have been set free with pasta, Cheetos, and a a lump of coal! That was a great presentation.

Ok Brilliant!! So lets see some of your photo work.
Oh, one little thing... I didn't make it clear that this is a good working method to get in the ballpark with simple lenses. For various reasons it isn't going to be useful in trying to measure the Jujinxto Telezoom off of your 16 Jigawatt Picanator DSLR.
But that lens isn't a mystery, anyway.
