This is a very rewarding and satisfying project. Final sanding can be done with the sensor in place but watch the dust from getting into your sensor connections. You will just need to blueprint it a bit. If you follow my measurements of the sensor rebate this will be exactly the same for all cameras. Once it is working, experiment with your camera on a tripod taking photos at varying distances to check the focus accuracy. This takes a bit of experimentation to get it in the right position. Using light grade painters masking tape, mark out the area about the same size as the sensor on the smooth convex side. Slip this filter in behind the mirror and use black tape to hold it in position. You will use this for infrared photography. The other filter make out of glass from a microscope slide.
