    I got side tracked this weekend, but I will make one soon. I don't have black acrylic, so I'll make it will all clear sides. I know the prices are ridiculous, $40 a piece is nuts, it costs like $5-10 to make!

    Here is a picture of my maxima clam that I shot through my surface viewer. It gives a great overhead shot. What do you think?

    I took a piece of 1.5" PVC and glued some clear acrylic over one end.
    The other end fits nicely over the lens. Works good for micro shots.
    I have to crop out the inside of the PVC for nomal shots. I'lm too cheap to
    buy a real one.;)
