Letus Hawk Overview
The Letus Hawk viewfinder is 100% custom designed from the ground up. Unlike others on the market, our viewfinder uses totally custom optics designed and manufactured by Letus. We use a 3 lenses in 2 groups rather than a single, off-the-shelf diopter. Our lens groups produces a totally flat image with no warping or sharpness loss on the edges of the image frame.
We have built our viewfinder with a 2.75x view factor. We have found this to be the ideal zoom for LCD screens. It produces a large image that you don't have to look around at when viewing it. At larger zooms, the image gets so big that you are forced to move your eye around to see the whole image. In addition, at zooms above 2.75, individual pixels on the LCD screen can be seen. The 2.75x zoom on the Letus Hawk viewfinder is the sweet spot for zoom factor.
The Letus Hawk is also designed to be modular just like our 35mm adapters. The Lens element of the Hawk is removable from the housing, this means that you can purchase one Hawk, then purchase different sized housings for different cameras, saving you money and helping you future proof your investment.
