Letus Edge to Edge improved by proper mounting method or Thanks Mr Bloom.

Just wanted to post a note. I shot some commercials yesterday and for the first time I mounted the Letus Extreme the way that Philip Bloom recommends.

I noticed that mounting the letus the other way ( rotating the ring onto the cam while still attached to the Letus) did not always get the optics on perfectly straight and flat to the mount. This would cause some edges of the frame to be a bit soft.

I don't know why I never thought of It before but removing the ring from the letus first is easier, faster, and helps guarantee a flush mount to the camera to get best edge to edge.

I am sure this will be no great revelation to most of you, but it was to me so I was just sharing.

Thanks Mr. Bloom

So what's the right way and what's the wrong one?
Are you talking about mounting it up or down?

Yeah, the original post isn't very clear, so I watched the video to find out what he was talking about. For those who don't want to watch the entire 7 and a half min video to find out what the OP is talking about, I believe that he is referring to the point late in the video where P. Bloom shows the ring being screwed onto your camera BEFORE you connect the ring to the Letus with the set screws.
 
Correct gentlemen. I did not realize that was 7 minutes into that video. But yes. Removing the ring that connects to camera, thread that on first, then attch Letus.

Sorry for the muddy post.
