Removing the UV filter is a good idea as well as already suggested.

Also worked wonders on my old 12 x 50 bins, couple of 50mm long lightsheilds made from a Xerox toner cartridge body cut that just happened to be the right diameter to squeeze fit on the front.

Every little bit helps.
Thanks Brent. I love a bit of DIY. I will have a hunt around and see what i can find.
All these great tips have helped lots.
Cheers
