DIY 35mm Adapter Query

[Durrty Boi]

hi, im new here, but have been browsing for a lil while

i have a question

i want to build my own adapter,

but, i want the camera to sit on it at an angle, in the same way the movietube does

now, im at a crossroads here.

can i just place the acromat at a slight angle, then the image would be bent directly on the cameras lens? (light reflected through the glass?)

or would i need to place some kind of mirror or something to reflect the image onto the lens?

thanks

Just curious, but why do you want the camera at an angle?

i just liked the aesthetic appeal of it.

if its not possible i could jus make a straight adapter

Theoretically, if you have small thread camcorder, you can design flipping alighment, using 45-degree pentaprism from Medium format SLR like Hasselblad or Pentacon / Kiev... and one mirror..

But be careful to buy non-metered viewfinder.. and without any markings on glass..
