Expert advice required, fitting lenses

[mrfurious]

Today im going to cut and fit some lenses, what is the best way to fit the lenses?

 

I know i could just glue them in but is there anything else or another way to fit?

I can swap out a lens in seconds for replacement or cleaning.

Dean,

 

That is a nice solution. I'm wondering how long those clips will last under pressure. I use those kind of clips to hang up photos on my cube at work. And ever so often the back snaps loose and goes flying. It would suck for that to happen inside a bucket.... trooper down!

Ed, I can't help but laugh my a$$ off at that thought!!! I mean, I have seen lots of "wardrobe malfunctions" during troops (and had them happen to me too), but the thought of a costume failure that is totally unseen by anyone just has me roflmao!!!

No kidding! I kept thinking of "A Christmas Story" when I composed that comment:

Every once in a while a trooper staggers and goes down.
