Major issues w/ LEX and EX1 upgrade kit

[Taylor Rudd]

This summer I'll be working on a feature length shoot, where we'll be using an EX 1 and my Letus Extreme.

I use my LEX with my XH-A1, so my school decided to buy the EX1 upgrade kit for e2e sharpness. After 4 weeks it finally came in...

...and it doesn't fit.

My achromat is held in by a rubber shroud. The EX1 achromat is threaded, but there are no threads on my LEX.

The site states that I have to have "an Extreme with a removable rear achromat lens". I posted here (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=125531) to make sure it would work. If I can remove the rubber achromat, how am I supposed to know that it isn't technically "removable"?



Has anybody else here run into the problem? Or am I screwed because I adopted the LEX too early and don't have a threaded achromat?

Heard back from DeGrey from Letus Direct. Luckily they have the EX1 achromat in a rubber shroud, too.

Did anybody else know there were threaded and non-threaded achromats? I never knew they updated them...sure wish mine was threaded =/
