welding glass?

[ivandobski]

Can someone point me in the direction of an ebay seller of welding glass?

I've looked but seem to consistently draw a blank...

Cheers,

I'd suggest machine mart as opposed to ebay.

that said you can get it easily enough on ebay too if you prefer - for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-3-Rep...OI_ProtectiveGear_RL&var=&hash=item76c060089e

where ever you get it be aware that the edges can be a tad sharp - you might want to run some duck tape arround them for safety's sake

Went to buy the machinemart version but inc postage it was £9. Bought the ebay version for £2 posted and a cheap uv filter for about the same instead.

Just need some glue, an elastic band and some talent and long exposures are mine...

you can just use a cokin filter adaptor ring and 3 bits of blue tack instead of the glue and rubber band - can't help on the talent front as i don't have any to spare

if i had seen this earlier i know someone who has loads that you could of had for some chubb change.

i have only really used mine once but looknig at doing some more in the new year.

No need for glue and elastic bands...

Just stick a ring of blutack around the spare UV filter then firmly apply the welding glass to it. If done properly there's no light leak and it's still easy to remove the filter from the camera.
