Optec Lepus Camera Mounting Plate, M48 x 075mm
Price as Configured: $75.00
The Lepus telecompressor has a design back-focus distance of 100mm on-axis. Each of the camera mounting plates below are designed to maintain that back-focus for the best overall image quality and a reduction of 0.62X. Varying the back-focus distance will alter the magnification (reduction) but may introduce undesirable optical aberrations as well. It is recommended to use the Lepus telecompressor only with the recommended camera-specific mount.
Each camera mount consists of a 2.1" ID tube of various lengths and a mechanical interface such as a T-thread, C-mount, or STL thread. This ID tube fits over the camera side of the Lepus telecompressor, which features the OPTEC-2100 male circular dovetail mount. The camera mount is held securely to the Lepus dovetail using three oval point setscrews located 120 degrees apart.
