Well at least no one can dispute that you really do have a beam SPLITTER now!


Polariod Prontos and Kodak EK4 and EK6 instant cameras are a great source of
front surface mirrors. They are usually quite common in junks stores for a
few bucks. If you don't want to tackle it yourself, most professional glass
cutters should be able to cut these down to size for next to nothing. I
usually stick a very mildly tacky tape over the front surface to protect it
until it's cut.
