Letus Extreme questions

[Moonraker]

I am thinking of purchasing a Letus Extreme kit for my HPX170. It seems there are various lens options depending on what I want to mount (Canon, Nikon, Zeis, etc.). Is there any advantages over the various lens options? Thanks!

It gives you the ability to select your lenses rather than being stuck with one particular brand. And some people have prefences, other not so much. But, im pretty sure that you should look at the Elite version so you can adjust back focus. You would adjust this because with different brands of lens, the projection from the lens onto the GG isn't always the same. The Elite can easily be configured per brand to get the correct back focus.

ditto to everything nantee said. I already had a Canon 16-35mm L lens from photography but was unable to use it with the Letus b/c the backfocus was off (everything was out of focus). So if you can afford it, get the Elite. If you can't afford the Elite, try to focus test lenses before you fully commit to purchasing them if you can.

If you don't have lenses yet, then the options allow you to buy the best lenses you can afford.
