This was my first static adapter i made. its very much based on this adapter:
http://www.enormousapparatus.com/35adapter.htm
after seeing the footage. i was inspired
My adapter is made from 2 58mm Asain brand +10 macros from ebay. (actually one i use is from Aroma brand. then there are 2 empty rings that used to be CU lenses. then my 1000 grit ground glasss that was a UV filter from ebay. then another +4 CU lens to act as a condenser(back then, i really didnt understand the whole condeneser, and why it was needed.) i just buitl it like the enormusappartus one. then i made the covering out of 2 pcv, one peice was a coupler and one was the pipe. The coupler fits over 58mm lenses screwed into eachother perfectly. the standard 2" pvc on one end is glued to the 35mm lens cap that has a hole cut out to let the light through.
here are the pics.

ive made many short movies with this adapter. The only problem would be dust , and imperections in the GG. I use a Sony DVR-520 Handycam that records on digital8. its pretty fun
