It is a bit rough and ready - not the greatest woodworking in the world, but it was only meant to be a prototype. What I've learned is to put the dark slide a bit closer to the film (the lips above the dark slide are a bit thin) - pay more attention to the plastic slides to secure the film (they aren't very accurate). Maybe make the septum from 3mm MDF or plastic? The plywood I used is disappointing. Very rigid in one direction, bend like paper in the other and it is very rough. The iroko worked really well (if that is what it is), Shame I only have half a shelf left. Alas - I can't test it yet! In a chicken and egg dilema - I haven't yet got a 9 1/2" camera...
