Thanks Jim.
Yes, it isn’t like hollywood, :'( :'(
But I don’t have a grand lying around either:

However, my ultimate goal is to produce the relatively cheap DIY adapter here:

The footage is darker on the edges, or brighter in the center, because I did not "grind" the ground glass enough (the cd). Hopefully if I fix that, it will look better.
In addition, it does project the image upside down, and its a little confusing at first. You do get a little more comfortable with it after a while, but it still gives me a headache every once in a while.
Pretty soon I probably will be retiring this adapter, purchasing an HV20, and then constructing the "jet-set" version of the adapter.
Thanks for checking it out.
