I made some closeup filters for my Horizon. The optical shop
that made my eye glasses sold me 75 mm diameter polycarbonate
lenses for $12 each. One for infinity at 4 meters
and another for 2 meters. I saw a rough disk out of the center
with a jewelers saw and finish shape it with a file.
I tried for months to find glass lenses with no luck.
