The Letus Elite is our mid-range adapter. Our most popular adapter. This adapter shares the same features of the Extreme but adds a back focus adjustment ring and the same optimized achromat lens found in the Letus Ultimate. A hybrid for the intermediate / pro level users.
Who It's For
We designed this adapter to meet the needs of more demanding users in fast paced production environments. If you are looking for a great 35mm adapter and aren't quite ready to invest in an Ultimate, the Elite is the best option available. It is a very popular adapter suited to both beginner users and professionals. This is the adapter we most often recommend for most users in the beginner to intermediate levels.
Product Highlights
The Elite is basically a hybrid of our entry level adapter, the Extreme, and our flagship model, the Ultimate. Like the Extreme, the Elite uses a vibrating ground glass design and shares the same prism housing. Like the Ultimate, the Elite includes a back focus adjustment ring and an upgraded achromat lens. The upgraded lens makes the adapter sharper than a stock Extreme.
For the greatest compatibility and ease of use, the Elite and Ultimate our the best choices.
Recommended Accessories
We recommend the Letus Elite Starter Bundle if you are just getting started. This bundle includes the Elite adapter, a lens mount, our fantastic rods V2 system, and a waterproof case to hold it all.
The V2 Rod Support system is the perfect companion to the Elite and allows the adapter to be mounted to virtually any camera setup. The rod support system is highly configurable and easily adjustable. With 15mm industry standard support rods, you will have no problems attaching third party accessories to your rig.
Another accessory that is popular with the Elite is our broad range of relay lenses. These relay lenses allow you to bypass the stock lens on many removable lens cameras such as the Sony PMW-EX3, Panasonic HPX500 and HPX300, the JVC HD series, and many others. For the most compact and light efficient 35mm adapter setup, you'll certainly want to look at the Letus Relay lenses.
