I think it would be interesting to have a thread on photography equipment
that people have made or modified, either because it wasn't available, or
was too expensive, or needed to be improved on. I know the recent article in
Lenswork said the main issue to them was the end product, that is the
picture (art), but for me I must confess I like the equipment and tinkering
with it as well as using it.
