Hi. I've been looking arround on building a 35mm, and found most of the info on which parts to get. The thing I havént figured out yet is how to hook it to the dvx100.
I think the Mini35 addapter requires you to take the dvx lens off, and screw an addapter in it's place, but from what I've seen on this site, what you need to do is somehow screw the macro in front of the DVX lens.
Can someone please give me some direction?

Thanks.

You screw your macro, or macros, onto the DVX lens via the 72mm threads. So most likely you'll be looking for 72mm Macros. If not then you'll need a step down ring. You then attach your adapter to the macros.

There are many ways to build an adapter...some screw together, some are glued, but none of them require you to remove your lens. Because that would just be silly. Because the lens doesn't come off. Unless you have a hack saw.

Edit...when I said glued, I didn't mean glued to your DVX.
