Sorry if it has been post before.

I think its kind of cool, very interesting during X'Mas. I'll try to find time to experiment it.

how does one judge the size of the cut-out required in order not have light fall-off?

must know abit of how aperture is calculated and how lens is constructed...
if you are using 50mm f1.8, then the diameter for your cut out should be smaller than 50/1.8......
