Letus Economy mounts

[davide]

I was looking at the letus site and noticed that the only mounts selectable when ordering the Letus Economy are canon and nikon. Is it possible to get other mounts with the LE or does only the Extreme get interchangable mounts?

I have an economy I bought from B&H, and ordered the Canon mount from letus, which on the website says is only for the Extreme and Mini. It works fine on my economy, however, as I noted in another thread, I think I got a weird half extreme, half economy as the section that holds the mount has three screws to hold it, and the economy is only supposed to have one. Mine also has a threaded screw hole for mounting to rails, which the economy isn't supposed to have.

So then unless I get a lucky break as you did I won't be able to use anything other than the flippable nikon/canon mount?

It appears so, although I'm not sure why exactly as the mounts are only held by pressure screws. I suppose the economy just has a different sized mount so they might not fit. You might want to ask someone who has one of those other mounts and try it out to see if it will work, or just e-mail letus directly and find out why they won't work.

My first shot with my Economy/Extreme hybrid. Using a 28mm 2.8 Sears FD mount lens I got off ebay for 10 bucks. I actually think it's sharper than my Canon 50mm.
