If you are still unable to achieve Infinity Focus repeat these steps.  Once 

7. 

you  are  able  to  achieve  Infinity  Focus,  next,  repeat  1.    Checking The 

Focus for accuracy of your lens Focal Marks.  If the lens Focal Marks are 

inaccurate, follow Case 1 adjustment steps.

NOTES:

 Be VERY careful pulling the Ground Glass 

(GG)  posts  away  from  the  adapter  body.    Avoid 

touching the Ground Glass (GG) with bare fingers 

as  it  will  transfer  oils  to  the  Film  Plane  and  may 

cause unwanted effects in your image.  If, by ac-

cident, you happen to pull one of the posts from 

its  socket  DO  NOT  PANIC!    Remove  the  Rubber 

Boot  from  the  post  VERY  carefully,  then,  with  a 

toothpick or the allen wrench you received with 

your  adapter,  gently  tuck  the  Rubber  Boot  back 

into  the  mounting  hole. Then,  carefully  re-insert 

the Aluminum Post into the rubber boot. DO NOT 

attempt to force the Aluminum Post with Rubber 

Boot attached into the mounting hole for risk of 

damaging the boot and Ground Glass (GG) mount-

ing system.  Take your time and be very careful.

Cleaning The System: 

VI.  

We try our best to ship each unit free of dust in the 

Optical Path.  However, the Magic of Dust Particles 

is always surprising.  In which case you may need to clean the optical path, refer 

to the steps listed below:   NOTE: If the dust moves when the unit is operating 

it will more than likely be located on the Ground Glass (GG) and you will only 

need to perform steps 1 – 3.

Open  the  front  tube  of  the  Letus35  Ex-

1. 

treme  35mm  DOF  Adapter  by  removing 

the four (4) screws and VERY carefully re-

move  the  tube.   You  will  see  the  Ground 

Glass (GG).

Clean the ground glass if you find the dust 

2. 

there. Only go on to next step if the speck 

is stationary when the ground glass is ro-

tating, if it is clean, put the tube back on. If not, continue to step 3.

Clean  the  top  surface  of  the  condenser  (the  glass  right  below  the 

3. 

ground glass). If the speck goes away, you are done cleaning, put the 

tube back on. If not, continue to step 4.
