Months of digging through this forum resulted in the near completion of my own humble 35mm adapter. It is a fairly simple design employing a thorlabs tube and a focusing screen from my old Zenit-E SLR camera. I just ordered the Type D focusing screen for Nikon F3 cameras from B&H(they just got them in stock if you are interested). I will replace it with the one from Zenit and see if it performs better. But for now, here is the footage. It is unfortunately half the size of the original and does hide the static grain(there is some). Also, there is sound for those who have their speakers turned up :) Thank you all for the wealth of information you provided....
Ohh and the camera is Panasonic GS250. (no achromat)

Looks great! I wanted to post a comment on the blog, but yours won't allow anonymous posting. So here it is :
Metal, wood, whatever works. I like the look of it. Love to see the inside spacer that you used (wooden ones) and the GG that you are using.
