Letus35, the original totally broken. Need help.

[phazelee]

Hey guys, I've had my letus35 the original for awhile, but put it away after it was destroyed by a little cousin of mine. After seeing some 35mm adapter footages, I want to fix it and use it again.

This is what I all have, and what it looks like

The old vibration piece broke, so I ordered a new one but its a bit small.
I believe if I glue on the vibration piece onto the structure, it'll be okay. I hope.

I also need to buy another Focus Screen ( Which I have no clue where to buy )
If anyone could let me know where to buy the Nikon Focus Screen for the letus35, please let me know, thanks.


Also, the structure where you attach the 35mm lens doens't lock. =/
It just doesn't lock anymore, which is weird...so I remember I had to glue the 35mm lens in to get it locked in there, which I know isn't a good idea.

I tried e-mailing quyen, but he doesn't help me much and says he doesn't work with these adapters anymore and can't give me any parts. =/

please help.

haha. Throw away the Letus tube. Go ebay and buy an 72mm asian spacer. Spacer is much better than macro tube because it comes with standard filter screw size so you can screw them straight into your camera.
Buy the cheapest 2nd Nikon F3 focusing screen(Any type is ok) you can get. Take the condenser glass out... Get some 600 grit aluminium oxide. Grind it. Glue it to your gg holder with some help of hotglue or silicone. Use electric tape to wrap the base of your gg holder until the diameter is same as the inner diameter of the spacer tube. Squeeze your gg holder inside. Get a Nikon Br-3(http://cgi.ebay.com/NIKON-BR-3-MACR...hotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)Use various step-up step-down rings and a macro coupler(http://cgi.ebay.com/Macro-Coupler-R...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
And with these parts. You should figure out how to assembly your brand new 35mm adapter.
