thanks, alan, I don't know what a CC filter is but I may try doing what you  
did...But I'll dig out an orange filter and have it cut to size by a local  
optometrist. 
As for the film template, I finally bought one from Mark Hama, a highly  
regarded camera repairman in Marietta, Ga. It's a copy but it'll probably do 
the  
job. regards, bob

Do  as I did and cut a CC filter to fit, unscrew the bezel, insert, and
you've  saved money.  And I made my own leader template from the  plastic
separator that comes in ring binders.  Use it to trace the shape  onto the
emulsion side before cutting.
