[LargeFormat] Darkcloth hoods?

[Jim]

I use this focus cloth as well. But I took out the elastic and put Velcro 
on the inside of where the elastic was. Cut two square holes where the 
levels are on my Technikardan 45S. I hook the dark cloth on the levels and 
punch it closed on the bottom (Velcro hook & loop). The elastic band used 
to slip off on to the bellows and pinch it. This solves the elastic bellows 
pinch problem and allows me to close the dark cloth around any part of the 
rear standard since I use back movements much more than front movements.
