Will this work guys? (image flip)

[powertase]

I was thinking that this might work well...
It is actually JAG35 front part with 2 prisms to flip the image, i think i t should work well.
Maybe the real problems will be:
- where to find prisms - online sellers have the maximum size of 30x30mm
- light loss

What do you think?

You will need a 'roof' pentaprism, otherwise it will only flip vertically and not horizontally.

It will be hard to find a stock prism of adequate size and would need to be custom made. Purchasing a flip module from ourselves or another manufacture would most likely be cheaper.

Thanks Wayne, one more question, if i turn my camera upside down, and look at camera's own LCD screen, would i get the right image or flipped horizontally?

My opinion is that we should avoid too many glasses, so we will keep the precious light ON the CCD's and not trapped in glasses (prisms, etc...)

You can but at the loss of some focus and added distortion. It's be moich easier and foolproof to flip it in post.

You would probably enjoy working with a split diapter. Playing with multiple focus paoints per shot is addictive and not somehting easily duplicated in post.
