Steps..
#1 Find Camera brand
#2 Find lens (popular lenses 18-55 kit lens) thought I'd do one for that first
#3 download pattern
#4 print two copies.
#5 Cut one out and check to see if it fits. (Tamron one was too large, but that may have been my printer settings)
#6 Place pattern over rubber sheet and grip firmly.
#7 Cut one side (petal side)
#8 Cut other side.
#9 Line up and glue tabs. (About 2mm tighter than marks, to allow for stretch.)
Finished...
18-55 with tabs cut to 4mm firs over body and allows lens to rotate for focusing.
Nifty 50 will need to be a round hood rather than petals as everything that the hood can be fastened to, moves.
Go to next post for pics.
