Complete the Letus FE for 35 bucks

I know there has been much concern over the way the "FINAL PRODUCT" Letus35 FE is presented. Thrown in a box with packing peanuts with no covers for the glass. I do not leave my adapter on my camera, because I shoot 80% of the time with just my straight DVX. I wanted a way to take the Letus on location off the camera without spending a bunch of money.

Here is what I did to finish out the letus35.

FIRST THINGS FIRST PROTECT THE OPTICS

I ordered two push on lens caps from Kaiser. You can get them from B&H for under 20 bucks. One 72mm and One 52mm.

*THIS SOLUTION WORKS GREAT BUT IT WAS NOT MY OWN. I SAW IT ON THE BOARDS AND I COULD NOT FIND IT AGAIN TO GIVE CREDIT TO THAT USER*

STEP 2 PROTECT ADAPTER AND LENSES


The next thing I needed was a cheap case. I went to my local sporting goods store and picked up a cheap Plano Pistol Case for $19.

I have seen these at Walmart and Gander Mountain and Dick's Sporting Goods.


It Looks like this.

It works well. You could get a nicer case but I wanted to do this as economically as possible.

On an opinion note I would gladly pay 50 bucks more for Quyen to send the letus out in something like this with the caps.

Happy Film making...

Great idea. How deep is the gun case? Does it leave much foam padding to protect the Letus, or did you have to dig out a lot of the foam?
