Leonard and List, Excellent! We're getting somewhere! My septums are 103.5mm or so wide. Your 100.5mm septums would fit this mag like a glove. Now I just have to find some correct septums, and maybe find out what these septums were intended for so someone can put them to use. Incidently, this is for a camera I'm building to use some aerial lenses I have. An actual Cameramaker activity!
