A few years ago I was trying to find a ground glass loupe
Unfortunately, I did not find the prices that I encountered, to be fair.
And, I was always being outbid whenever I found one that I could appreciate.
So, I made my own, I found a chintzy enlarger lens, and combined it with an
1 1/2" PVC Trap Adapter, it just happened to be a perfect fit, to allow for the
proper focus on the ground glass. Drilled a hole in one of the tabs, and attached
an Op/Tech Strap, and slapped a PVC Cap on it for protection, and a wee bit
O'Stylishness when it's not being used. Total cost was less than $10.00 !
Please share some of your helpful hints, or items that you have made over the years.
I'm hoping that I'm not the only Cheapskate on APUG ...
