Regarding limitied the Nimslo's aperature size for flash macros:

>Properly?  I'm not sure about that.  But here's an alternative.  Take the
thing apart.  Notice that metal assembly the lenses are mounted on?  The
shutter is that long dark strip behind the lenses-actually two strips.
When the shutter is tripped, the top one moves right, and the bottom one
moves left.  The farther they move, the larger the aperture.

If you were to find a way to limit the travel of those two strips, you'd
have a smaller aperture.   I could think of a couple ways, but it's up to
you and your skills.<

     Well, my skills are nil :-). Would putting some kind of block
limiting the strips movement kinda screw them up?
