T-Box lens shade

This right now is for me a working prototype. I'm going to make some changes overall handling and some cosmetic. I made mine this way for a couple of reasons.

1) - Back in '03 I was shooting and a photographer from our local paper saw me and came up and said, "Wow Leica that's nice." - so why cover that up? :)
2) From the front (though not seen) you can still add/remove threaded filters. Orignally I was going to make it to fit the anamorphic, but I'm not using it so I went this direction.

Coming up - I'm working on the rod support system right now and will be finishing my follow focus.
