Hi Mandy!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I think maybe why we generally see the standard 50mm lens used is because of its speed. I have a couple of F1.8 lenses and others here use...

HA HA HA!

The next try will be with a sardine can, then. (A thoroughly-cleaned one.)

Maybe I need an interface (ie. saucepan) between the can and electric hot-plate to help with heat distribution.
