What condenser are you using? I'm curious since I'm ordering one either today or tomorrow. Most importantly...what's the focal length? (I'm thinking of buying about 100mm)

8-9oz is about what will fit into a priority mail envelope. I posted a picture earlier of 9oz worth--it's a little smaller smaller than a can of coke: maybe 1.5''X3''X4'' or so.

Spielberg himself admits to stealing shots from Bay. It is a subjective medium, but I'll trust Spielberg's views before yours.

Then again, I like action movies. I thought Jaws, Die Hard, and The...

I went to the post office. Shipping in the US is $3.85, I think delivery confirmation is another 55 cents. So about $4.40.

Shipping to the UK was 7.55 plus delivery confirmation, which I think...

I hate to say it, but I disagree. His skills on a purely visual level are nearly unsurpassed. Maybe they make the rest of the film look amateurish, but that chase scene was incredibly beautiful and...

I know people like to hate on Bay (perhaps fairly), but the chase sequences were still really good and the movie was still really beautiful.

I swear Bay's problem isn't that he's so bad with...

Capillary aciton works well for me, but I'll try your method as well and compare. I'm curious (re-reading the thread) what the problem with it was. The only thing I can think of is that if it cools...

Capillary action!

If anyone wants to delete my thread on this, they can. I should have posted here instead.

I got capillary action working and it seems to be pretty simple and give incredibly even results,...

There are either cracks of wax towards the edge or little bits of epoxy which floated into the wax. It's unclear which, but they're not too serious as long as they're not in the center. Looks...

Capillary Action

So far so good. My first test worked great and there are definitely no bubbles (although the focusing screen is still cooling and it may not be on a perfectly level surface.)

It's actually really...

You mentioned in another thread the use of vacuum pumps. That seems like a pretty good idea, actually, to ensure that no air bubbles (even very small ones) get in.

Next week I'm going to buy some...

As it turns out, the post office was closed when I got there. Apparently they close early on Saturday.


Anyhow, shipping to the UK looks like about 7 dollars, probably a bit more, but I'll...
