I'll see if I get a chance to play around with it a little today or 
tomorrow to see what works. I think the biggest issue right now is 
getting around the OCT18 "hook" (peg?) that holds the lens in place (not 
allowing it to turn side to side) while adjusting focus.

Longer lenses shouldn't have as much of an issue. The shorter ones 
might, but if the mirror is up, then they can seat back in a little ways 
farther without worry. The big thing about the mirror is that it is for 
the SLR part of the equation *only*. The camera switches over to the 
back screen when in video mode, the mirror goes up and stays up, thus 
the SLR can not be used.
