Hi Jerry. I have the HDR HC7 Sony which looks very similar to your camera. Would love a more detailed description/sketch of your LCD screen viewer. It looks quite professional, down to the Sony box and clip arrangement. Any details you could supply would be much appreciated.

I recently tried to buy a simple lens hood for my camera and apparently the 37 mm size is not well catered for in Australia. When you say you made your own adapter for larger lenses, could you be more specific, or do you have a lathe and skills to make such things yourself?

Thanks.
