    Just wondering if you guys have any DIY tips and tricks.

    My best DIY tip is using welding glass as an ND filter. Glass and two rubber bands gives me surprisingly good results.

    No specific tricks but the most useful things that have been used for all sorts of DIY have been cinefoil and gaff tape. snoots, flags, cookies, lens hood, etc, have all been made using these two things.

    Interesting.

    I've also found that using a large sink strainer also works very similar to a Black Pro Mist filter.
