Right, the camera does not come with the tripod plate, that's an extra accessory. Why these things don't automatically get included is beyond me.

With respect to added reflections on the Pro35: the nice thing about how it was designed is that you truly get the characteristics of the lens you're using. So for example if the lens has a lot of flare, ghosting or internal reflections naturally then that's what you get, but the adapter doesn't add more things on top of that. To be honest, I've never felt the RR to have been made very well; in that market Letus has proven themselves to be a far superior product.

In fact, hold onto your hats because Letus is coming out with the "Ultimate" version of the Extreme. It's a two-part adapter that will also mount to the 2/3" inch cams and will become the *only* competitive product to the Pro35. It should come in about 1/3 the cost of the Pro35. Keep watching the Letus site for info. From my understanding, the Ultimate will also have it's own internal iris giving it the same functionality as the Pro35.
