Masking Techniques


I m sure someone has a real cleaver technique for creating a 6x4.5 mask for a 6x6 format camera. The camera I happen to be working with is a Seagull 107. I thought about taking a sharpie marker to the view screen, but I think there are much more sexier approaches.

  I did this to my Hassleblad, and used a "vinyl pinstripe tape" on the focusing screen that is available from art stores, but cannot remember what it's called. It came in width's down to 1/64". I think I ended up using 1/32" in black, and taped two pieces horizontally, and two vertically. It works fine.
