It strikes me that projecting forward from film gate would be better for 
marking where cuts are needed to convert a too tight round hood to tulip 
or relieve a rectangular hood.

Tough indeed on a DSLR! The single digit OMs are perfect, as one may 
take the back off so the body will lay flat on the light table. I've 
used one of those daylight balanced 4x5 flat illuminators that I bought 
for checking slides. Anything flat, bright and relatively evenly 
illuminated should work
