Economy mount lock?
Hi,
I have owned the first version of the letus and one of the reasons I wasn't too crazy about it was the fact that the nikon lenses would not lock properly to the letus's mount. I once reported this to the letus support and they told me to tap the mount with a screw driver and a hamer to bend the mount a little bit until it would lock properly. I remember that one of my lenses almost felt on the floor when I was pulling focus. I have also owned an M2 and a brevis and when I screwed the lens into the mount I could always hear that click sound that it makes when the lens is locked tight. The letus has gone a LONG LONG way since that first version and I'm very impressed with it. Since I'll probably be getting a letus economy I'd like to know if this has been dealt with. cheers, Rafa |
My recollection is that the original mount was a reversable Nikon-Canon mount and it was pretty ordinary. I understand the later Letus35 dedicated Nikon mount may have a releaseable pin lock but you would need to wait for others, Aaron Pin, or Le Bros themselves to confirm.

Bob is correct. The Letus35 Nikon AI mount is a locking mount with a pin and release to hold the lens in. The mount you are referring to sounds like the old swappable mount that did not have any locking mechanism.

Thanks, guys. That is good reasuring news.
