Yeah, I'm keeping my "balance" and "not fuzzy" anymore.

And I owe it all to you.....

Not a bad idea at all! Westcott? has a similar material used as an ND background for video. Different sized holes (if available) will yield different amounts of reduction. Alternatively, black mesh from the fabric store would probably achieve the same.


Similar to the Westcott Mesh Nets, you might also find all grades of patio mesh rolls from home stores. The last time I purchased one it wasa roll of about 30" x 25 ft for something like 3 bucks tops. You could easily double or triple up on those to cut the light on the cheap.

I just did a quick check with my light meter and an Einstein at min power 2.5ws at ISO 100 gave an f stop of 1.0 and 3/10 to be exact Iam using a large PCB softbox only 2 ft away. I can't think why you would need less light...what are you shooting?
