The results of the Sprocket Rocket Filter Ring mod: Here are some shots with a red 52mm filter. The pickup is white and faded green, and the red filter really increased the contrast. A red filter can even double as an ND filter, of course, as I tried at night as the police tried to take me down. (kidding.) The red glow of police lights turned white in the exposure. I did these in stand development, Rodinal diluted 1:100 for an hour. Now, one important note. Even with a 52mm filter, the filter edge sometimes can be just barely seen in shots when the Rocket is set to the nearest focus setting. This is a slightly disappointing discovery, but one I can work around.
