Hi Nixtaytay! As you requested, I’ve updated the post describing the tool I used to enlarge the lens opening, and some suggested improvements.

How did you made the hole bigger to fit to your lens? Could you show us how and post a pic of the ringlight attached to your cam/lens. thanks!

I can give a first hand testimonial that the full size tea bag picture is also amazing. And that the black tea made from those particular tea bags shown was quite delicious.

Doncha just love it when you stumble on to one like this, a plan comes together, it actually works, and you feel like a freaking genius. For about 10 minutes before a spouse or friend who is bored to death with you telling them about it responds with a monotone, “OK.”

Very cool that you tried this. I thought of the same thing when seeing one of these, plus decided that other types of LED light fixtures would be just the ticket for small product work when a ring-light isn’t required. Cheap and good.

Amazing. I never thought of a used teabag as an objet d’art before now… that’s beautiful!
