This is a cool topic I think and definately one for brave people! :) The only thing I guess I have done over the years is fiddle with lens coating so that they cover different lenses. I bought various sizes from lens coat and then then put them on lenses that they weren't intended for originally. Not a big deal I guess. I enjoyed the pictures and responses of others so far with this link!

Yeah, I think this is a neat thread. A couple of things I remember were a mask to make it possible to have a portrait image three times in one piece of film. This was of course shot on 4x5, using a Calumet view camera with Schneider lens, 210mm I think. One cuts very carefully a mask with three drop down "tabs" which cover different areas of the scene. It is black of course. The mask is suspended a few inches in front of the lens by a very stable mount. By opening one tab and having the subject in the corresponding area, then exposing each area individually with the subject in it, one creates a single negative with the subject three times. Because of the long lens, at maybe f/8 or 11, and the studio being black except for he lighting on the subject, the lines on the tabs cancel out and are seamless.
OK, another simple item is using the boxes from my new Elinchromes to make light baffles. By cutting the boxes on the long side and using contact cement, one can make 18" x 35" baffles by folding the box once. Nice, lift weight, inexpensive. Paint one side black. Use Velcro on this and the other side of the Velcro on the arm of a light stand accessory, a bit of money here, and you have a nice light modifier panel.
