I sent an email to newthings regarding a plate he fabricated since he trimmed his crescent. He explained 2 ways he had done it with sheetmetal and of plastic. I may try both ways to see how it looks.

As for the glare, if you are shotting through the rear glass, that becomes a factor too. I havent wired any of my stuff up yet, but its all mounted and all I need to do is get some juice to the set. I dont know exactly how this camera will look at all yet. Of course, I plan on just aiming mine dirently through a porthole on the crescent. Its already mounted, just needs to be aligned and juiced up (and I need to fab a plate for its surroundings).

I was able to run the ewiring through the grommet in the camera cell. Wasnt too hard. A modeling Exacto knife makes a LOT of this sort of stuff very easy. I also used one to remove the crescent. By just slicing the tape with the knife, I am still able to fasten back the crescent and the tape still adheres to itself once again.

I am SO looking forward to getting this job done.
