Step 5Find the filter!

Find the filter!
This is the main step.

Look at the section with the lens (right in the picture) and try and get it under different lights. We are looking for a filter here, and it will probably have a red/pink/blue tint if you look at the right angle.

When you have found it, you need to remove it (carefully - it is glass). In my case, I had to snap a () ring out, although it had been well glued, so I needed to break it out to release the filter. When you have the filter, you will probably want to put it to one side in safety (you no longer need it, but if you ever one to reverse the modification you will need it).

Now you need to cut two (yes 2) squares of film out of your stash (black processed film - find some old 35mm negatives and use the unexposed start block). Clean them off best you can (remember the light goes through here, so any dust is going to leave a black dot on all your images), and put them in the place that the filter was before you removed it (this can take some patience) one on top of the other. Then do your best to put any holder back in place (like my () ring) to stop the film falling out.
