Thanks, everybody. The mouse pad was a late breaking thought. I was planning for a stiff piece of black plastic, but was concerned about getting the thing into my bag. The mouse pad scrunches up nicely, and also can be tilted towards the glass, in use, to be a bit of a hood. Yes, the Lee adapter ring provides for rotation. That's the key to the Lee and similar systems. Sorry, I have no plans to make and sell these at this time. I'm an architect, so I design things and keep moving and never make any money. I posted this as a guide for anybody who wants to make one for themselves. A word of caution; there should be a protrusion at the end of one of the wings on the adapter ring, so that it can be mounted with a twist and then stop when the protrusion engages the wing around the lens. Mine doesn't have that, yet. Without a positive stop at the end of the mount, it's easy to inadvertently dismount! Also, an 82 WA ring worked. I also have a 77, or rather, had a 77, and tried to make a neater one after the 82 prototype. But the geometry of the 77 ring just doesn't work. So if you buy a ring for this purpose, buy an 82.
