    *** Update ***

    Ok, Well I have had a setback, I just cant seem to get the "NV" version up and running the way I want it. I ruined one lens and had to get another camera to get the lens from it to try one more time before putting this one to bed.

    My fingers are still crossed and I do feel it will work, I just have to go through the trial and error phase first. I will post my final Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down on it this weekend.

    Thanks

    Finished up my version today.
    used the guts from a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Veo-Connect-Web-Camera-USB/dp/B00006B9YC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1203178903&sr =1-2"]Veo Connect Web Camera[/ame]
    Can get as close as 1/16 inch and still focus.
    Should do the job.
    Going down to hook it up and calibrate it in.
    See if my shop lights are bright enough,
    played around with LED's but they don't work well without a diffuser.
    Waiting on your 'NV' version Bill, sounds cool.
    Later Hoss

    Very Cool Hoss, Very Cool indeed!

    I'm thinking I am making progress today, I just don't want to scrap another lens doing the conversion otherwise it wont be feasible for other to do and thats what my goal is.

    My life = .... K.I.S.S.
    Thanks
