Right angle viewer for DSLR

Since the right angle viewer is just a small telescope with mirror (for right angle), I decided to build one from spare tubes, lenses, mirrors and eyepieces that accumulated over the time in my drawers and boxes.. ...
First experiments prove that it is possible to avoid paying big $ for such a simple thing in principle.
It seems that I will end up with a viewer, that has 5~7x magnification. It will be larger than the one from ebay (or from camera store) but better.. it seems it will be useful for focusing as well, provided the position of the mirror in my DSLR is accurate enough....
I will post the pics as soon as the whole thing is put together.... maybe tonight...
