mirror like filter
In the latest Esquire magazine there's an article on/by Chuck Close
(artist/photographer) where he describes placing a mirror like filter over the lens that allows the portrait sitter to see themselves while looking directly into the lens. Any ideas what this filter is or could be made from or where it is available ? Thanks.

Any ideas what this filter is or could be made from or where it is available ? Thanks. Any half-silvered (also known as 'one-way') mirror. A medium large sheet is needed, not a 'filter'. You can also place a mirror behind the camera to the same effect. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.

The 'eye-line' is quite different and is especially noticeable c/u. Any idea how much light these one-way mirrors you recommend cut out ( seems you have an f-stop meter to measure with :-)
