Flair problems and a cheap solution

Last week I got my first developed 120-roll back shot with my Agfa Isolette lll. The pictures where taken on a sunny day and that had caused a lot of flair in the pictures.

Now are hoods for old folders hard to find, so I made my own. I took an empty plastic sauce-bottle, cut a peace of it and sanded the small opening until it fitted tight around the barrel of the lens. After that I sprayed it first with plastic-promer and after that with matted black paint. See the results below.

Did the same job with the Agfa Billy-Record by using another plastic bottle.

Bogie,

To my eyes the hoods seem to be a little too generously proportioned, but of course we're all looking forward to your before-and-after comparison pictures!
