Lense material

[Wiggleplum]

Does anyone know what most lens material is made of? The type of flexible plastic it is, is what I would like to know.

 

Thanks

welders visor is good to use as lenses, I use shade 3. Light enough to see out of, dark enough not to see in.

The original material was Basic Green gel used in studio lights. You can get a sheet from Rosco or Lee Films distributors. It's a bit flimsy, but is the most accurate. You're eyes won't show, even in pictures where flash is used. But you'll see everything green.

I have a strange combination-

 

green plastic acetate and one way mirror film for glass.

 

makes for a sunglasses space suit style lens that is flexible just like thin gel acetate.

Get the welder's shield only, it's like 5 bucks + shipping. Your best bet.

 

Cut out the shape you need, then put it in the oven on a low heat setting, then take it out (flexible) and put it in your bucket for the desire shape and wait for it to harden!
