new sputnik baffles

I put a couple of pictures of this on my web site.  You can see them at
http://www.deering.org/baffle.html  Tell me what you think.

Two things I like about this approach.  First, it's totally reversable.  No
modification to the camera at all.  Second, it's incredibly light.

The ground glass testing looks good.  I'll let you all know how the first
roll of film turns out.

P.S. Is "baffle" the right word?
