I know millions of ppl have talked and tried to make their very own 35mm adapter. I was very impressed with James Webb's design, http://www.enormousapparatus.com/35adapter.htm

Has anyone out here used his blueprint to build their own similar adapter ?

I was thinking of using this method to get a good ground glass,

Just wondering if anyone had any luck with Webb's design besides Webb. All this seems pretty simple. It would be nice to get a product like the micro35 or the G35 but they are all too overpriced for what they are. I had the opportunity to speak with Brian Valente and James Hurd from Redrock and even got to test out the micro35 with the Z1. They have a very nice product going and the image quality is amazing. Very well made for the price you pay. Too bad that price is still a little too high for me. However, compared to the P+S which I was able to toy with a year ago, its a great deal.

Hey rgd!

In case you weren't already aware, many folks expressed their opinions in this thread a while ago:

I had good results with the Opto Sigma GG, fwiw. Cost me $22 or something.
