Letus Extreme Setup and Nikon Lens?

[iconoclast6]

Hi Folks,

I'm a new to this adapter stuff, so please tolerate what are probably dumb beginner mistakes

The Letus Extreme is setup on the DVX100B. Able to see to focus on the grain ok so far, but then I ran into a problem. I attached my 50mm, 1.8 manual lens to the lens mount in front of the Letus, and then decided to change the lens...but cant get the lens off of the lens mount...? Don't want to force but it seems pretty stuck. Any thoughts?

Another question is how tight does the Extreme get attached to my camera lens...I notice its not really flush and tight, and moved a bit when I was changing focus on the Nikon manual lens...

Will appreciate any help.

Thanks..

there should be a release for your 35 lens somewhere around the flange... a small button or lever to either push down or back as you twist the lens. Look for that.
As far as the loosness... you may need addition support if it doesnt tighten any more. I hear the extreme is heavy!

Thanks I'll try that in the am. This what happens when the editor tries to do double duty when the camera guy jumps ship...
