I just completed part of the work on my home made viewfinder for 85 and 35 mm lenses. They are made from old flash hotshoes and pieces of cameras I had laying around. The sports finder was a film apeature from a 35 mm and the optical was an 80 mm lens from who knows what and a viewer lens from a Kodak instamatic. The last stage of the optical viewer is to make a cover for it. Don
Don, when you upload the image, make sure to cut and paste the link from the text box in the popup into the reply text box. We're not seeing any images that you're trying to post.
Here is a photo of my newest viewfinder made from two lenses back to back minus one of the rear element, It is very bright and wide, I masked it down to 35mm for use with the Jupiter lens. The moral I guess is to never junk a lense it may be usable for something. Don
