[LRflex] Canon 5D and mirror trimming.

OK.  How does one go about shaving the mirror?  Is it glass?  Plastic? Does 
one use a small grinder?  A knife?

Just pondering the possibilities.  D5 has some appeal.  Lighter than DMR/R8. 
  Full frame.  Pretty good viewfinder.  (NOT R8 standard and not auto 
diaphram operation).
