Wouldn't the perforation in the scrim create a texture in the resulting
image background? If so, that could make editing the background further a
bit difficult. Does Rosco sell this stuff as a raw material or a finished
product? In photo stores?

To keep the subject line somewhat appropriate, is there some particular
reason that the Nishika lenticular is being discussed for the macro
application instead of generally all lenticular cameras? Wouldn't the Image
Tech be usable in a similar way? Or are the lenses of a Nishika closer together?
