Hello, I've been following the Mini35 adapter threads for about two weeks and have begun the process of making my own.
Last week, I went to a local photography flea market (Only a once a year event). While there, I got a nice used lens for my Nikon, and I also found a Bosscreen.

It measures 57mm square, and appears to be designed for a Hasselblad. There were a few others, but they had gridlines in them.
I made a simple setup and took a few pictures with a digital camera:

I apologize for the quality of the pictures; the camera I used was an old Cybershot with a broken LCD. My GL2 is out at the moment, when I get it back I'll do some better tests.
Anyway, I've been trying to find resources on the internet for these screens, as I know others would find them useful. Unortunately, I haven't found anything yet. I'll keep looking, but at the moment I can only recommend looking in camera shops and at events such as the one I went to.
