Not sure if this should go in technical or diy.. but i'll post it here

I bought a dvx100a last week and received 2 do it your self 35mm adapters with it, which i am very happy and gracious of. But I am a complete noob with them.

One is a spinning ground glass 35mm adapter which I don't have a lens to use with it so forget about that one for right now.

But the other one is a Pvc ground glass with a nikon 50mm on it and i figured out how much to zoom in and how to focus everything. But the image is flipped and i was wondering if this is the same with all 35mm adapters or if i need to do something or.. I know that when using a 35mm slr the mirrors reflect the image so its up right but with this its upside down.

Is there any way i can make an upright image or maybe flip the image through the camera somehow or do i have to deal with it and correct it in post.

Thats so scary.. aah.
I'll probably try it... but i don't want to risk messing up my baby. Do you know where to find cheap off camera monitors?
