Replace Letus Achromat w/ EX1 achromat and back again

[Taylor Rudd]

My school is purchasing the EX1 achromat to test with my Letus Extreme.

On the website, it says You must have an Extreme with a removable rear achromat lens for this kit to work. This is a direct replacement for the stock achromat and includes an optimized thread ring specific to the EX1 as well.

I assume all the Letus Extremes have a removable achromat? Assuming these tests yield the results we want, they will probably purchase their own Extreme.

Dust aside, is it an issue to keep switching out the achromats if need be?

I just want to make sure this new achromat will work with my existing Extreme, and that I can convert it back when I need to shoot with my XH-A1.

The rubber's a bit of a doozy to get out. You have to roll around the ring pulling until it pops free. Similar to pushing it back in, as well.

DO NOT DROP YOUR ACHROMAT!!! Or you're gonna be really sad.

Geeze. That's it?

That seems way too precarious. Is it difficult to get the achromats square to the lens?

No, not at all. If it's in the rubber housing proper then it's aligned properly.
