Oh good, sandwhiching the Nikon D screen should save me a TON of trouble, I was going to go with the wax route and that looked pretty iffy to me. I've got a GL1 and all the guides seem to be using different macros, some use just a +3, others use +7, and then most common is a +10 macro, I figure you'd need to zoom in anyway so why haul out for a big macro like that? BTW, I'm building my adapter with stepping rings so I can use it on my GL1 now and use it with a future 72mm camera when I upgrade to HD.

One thing about the sandwhiching thing, the Nikon D screen won't be jingling around between the two filters will it? I don't know how small the screen is.

Just a note: the more you zoom in, the higher power the macro you need.

You'll have to glue in the screen. It's a rectangular-sized thing that, if placed in the ring of a 52mm UV filter, will barely touch at the corners.

can any of you guys please tell me how do you manage to keep the focusing screen clean?

Use compressed air to completely blast out all the tiny particles, then seal the deal and only open the ends sparingly.

thank you Ben.

Compressed air
 
Just a small remark on compressed air and cleaning lenses. When going ape, dust can be blown further into lenses instead of cleaning them. So be gentle.

ok...thank you!

I will be careful.
