It was not easy to have the Matte box aligned, but with a pair of extra screws it worked :)

cool, looks funny with the Prism part making the lens off center. Looks like the P&S Technic Snorkle lens.

Rod support: Cavision RS-15IIM (http://www.cavision.com/rods/minidv.htm)
Longer Rods (I needed 30cm, not 25cm): Z-RS-M12-1 (http://store.zacuto.com/product.php?productid=237&cat=49&page=1)
Matte Box ($150) in eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Matte-box-Rod-support-forJVC500-Sony-vx2000-XL1-GL1_W0QQitemZ120152124963QQihZ002QQcategoryZ3319QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) (it's plastic, almost a toy, but still impressive... and useful for 4x4 filters.
To align the matte box to the Nikon lenses i had to buy some screws and attach the Matte box's rods to the Cavision lens support (http://www.cavision.com/rods/lenssupport.htm).

Very nice setup. How do you like that Cavision lens support? I have been considering getting one as right now I just have a strip of black velcro wrapped around my Letus35 FE and the Cavision rods. It holds nicely for what I need. However, I would eventually like to pick up one of those Cavision supports especially if you find it working well.

The lens support is IMO a must. As you can see in the pics the lens support is used to stop the Letus from dropping down.
