Finally I have finished it. happy with the result? yes but could be better.
Why better, because I used a hand electric drill, pliers, and screw drivers. I don't have any machine, but the result is actually pretty good.

If any one is up for the challenge of getting my machine and redo it completly with the right equipment you are more than welcome. it cost me £150, the price is mainly made with the pentaprism(£100). the belows was given to me for free.

Any way it looks ugly but it works, and the cherry on the cake the image is NOT upside down.

picture of it here, without my fx1 as I don't have support rod yet.

wow, impressive, its got that Gothic retro feel . lol
who cares what it looks like, so long as it produces good images and is at the end of the day the whole point of these contraptions!!

Anyway if you would be so kind as to post some stills or even a short clip, perhaps one outdoors and one indooors (I assume it needs lots of light)

I will soon post some stills, and Yes you are right it needs a lot of light, which makes me wonder if I'm gonna be able to use it, unless in day light..

Sorry guys, but I've been very busy with work(the one that pay the bills). any way let tell you what's happening.

my 35 mm adapter is the only DIY adapter that doesn't have the image up side down, I did some test footage and realised that there was a problem. The bright part of the images are distorted(kind of rainbow effect) and also I was loosing quite a bit of light. So the result is it works but it's not good enough so I decided to let others do the job and concentrate on my own stuff.. I'm going to purchase the SG35 this week end it's a very good 35mm adapter equivalent to the micro35 but much cheaper. £200 $350. it's sold with everything I need and the rod system.

the image will be upside down but I'm gonna get an lcd monitor where I can reverse the image.

Wayne Kinney, the guy that build the SG35 ship everywhere in the world and I think there is 2 to 3 weeks waiting between payment and delivery.

he can be contacted at: waynekinney@hotmail.com

This week end we are going to shoot few things in brighton (south england) and we will post footage of the FX1E with the SG35...
