 The Letus Extreme is our entry level 35mm adapter with only 1/2 stop of light loss. The perfect choice for the budget minded Indie Film maker. If you are looking for the most affordable Letus 35mm lens adapter, this is the adapter for you.
Who It's For
The Letus Extreme is designed for entry level / beginner film makers. Although it similar to the higher end Letus Elite, it lacks a few features bringing it in at a lower price point. Most notably, the Extreme lacks the back focus adjustment ring and upgraded optics found in the Elite. These items can be added separately if you want to upgrade an Extreme to an Elite in the future.
Product Highlights
The Extreme was the first 35mm adapter released when Letus re-launched in 2007. It revolutionized the 35mm adapter market and many tried to copy the innovations we built into this adapter. This was the first 35mm adapter to seamlessly integrate a prism based "flip" optical path which produces an up-right image in the camera. Our one piece design makes for a compact and light efficient adapter. Unlike other adapters on the market, there is no need to purchase a seperate "flip module" to achieve an upright image.
Like all Letus products, the Extreme is 100% custom made to our specifications. We do not use any off-the-shelf parts to build our adapters. From the housing, to lens mounts, to the optics; everything is manufactured specific to our adapters.
Recommended Accessories
When using a 35mm adapter, you will want to add a support rod system to your camera. This is a convient way to support and balance your camera and adapter when using it on a tripod, crane, hand held, etc. The Letus V1 support rods are our entry level system. These are industry standard 15mm diameter support rods which allow you to easily use third party accessories with standard mounting diameter.
For an easier to configure support rod rig, we recommend the Letus V2 support rods as a good alternative to the V1 system. These are esier to adjust as most adjustments can be done by hand without the use of a hex wrench. The V2 rods also allow you to keep your camera lower to the support rods and "step" the adapter down in front. This makes for a lower center of gravity and a generally more compact setup.
