- Quite right, Dave. Just to give the historical angle on all this, these
- "pop" filters had their beginnings with somebody (sorry - I not know who)
- making one out of coat hanger wire or an embroidery hoop and some scrap
- hosiery...i.e., developed the same the Lowel brand miniature movie lamp,
- first marketed in the 50s, evolved from home-made devices.
-
- Just a matter of time before someone started mass-producing them...
-
- BTW, gaffer tape has only been around since the 50s, also courtesy of Lowel.

- All heads bow before the Mother of Invention!
